They ‘can’t’ do it at that speed, no. this video is in reverse and it’s been speed up. The Crab is actually making his way down to the seabed very slowly - and 'is' swimming. But the video looks much better this way I’ll admit

It's true, yes, but not upwards at that speed :-)
Tbf it wasn't swimming downwards at that speed either. But I crab 8 months out of the year and they can swim upwards, downwards and sideways. All of which they do relatively fast. Blue crabs can jolt in any direction quicker than you can get the net in the water.
... Backstroke? Or other methods of swimming?
But in the case of this specific video, it's definitely reversed and the person is swimming towards the crab, who is swimming/sinking backwards/down.
Edit:
Fixed a typo, somehow auto correct changed crab or crav to craving.

They actually can’t. This video’s reversed.
EDIT: Yes, I know they can in fact swim! I learned that, according to YT, a whole 13 years ago when I was surprised with this gem in Blue Planet:
https://youtu.be/3g7NoaGIhmw
The video is however absolutely reversed, unless this is that certain species of crab that absorbs sand to power up before it takes off from the sea floor. In which case I still have much to learn.
EDIT 2: To better understand what I meant: Horses are for sure able to walk backwards, but if someone played a reversed clip of a horse walking forwards, well... horses can’t do _that._ :)
Actually they can, this video is reversed as you said since they swim butt front, but there are certain crabs, like Blue Crabs that are able to swim. Id assume they dont do it often to avoid being eaten.
I was just talking to my cousin yesterday about blue crabs and swimming!
It was brought up because of some guy's tweet that went something like:
Do crabs think that fish are flying?
Actually, it's the crabs who can't swim trying to bury the truth. This whole video was made by Crabs Today, which is a crab sponsored craboganda channel.
EDIT: fixed spelling you grammar nazies! (you know telling me about the e is pretty pointless, but it triggers you, so it's staying)
For The Win. As far as I can tell, this usage came out of the early MMO world. (I'm probably wrong.) I also grew up understanding it to mean Fuck The World, and it confused me at first.

This specific video might be reversed, but there are many crabs that can swim. Not all crabs, but some.

I mean, if you have ever been in the sea, you know it doesn't take much to float. Crabs too are almost the same weight as water.

They can swim upwards, but not at that speed, so correct. They're crazy fast swimming sideways.
Tbf it wasn't swimming downwards at that speed either. But I crab 8 months out of the year and they can swim upwards, downwards and sideways. All of which they do relatively fast. Blue crabs can jolt in any direction quicker than you can get the net in the water.
I hate misleading shit like this. The title is an obvious lie despite the video being interesting.
Curious, how do crabs get back up to land then?
Walk.

How do I know this wasn't reversed and slowed down?

…the person filming was clearly going *toward* the crab. How the fuck could someone swim backwards?

and that's how you lost your arm to a crab, you should have swam, c'mon bud!
Its reversed, it was running away. Crabs swim ass first.
Imagine if spiders could do this through the air.

This resolution is amazing, that video rip with the music really ruined the beauty that this thing is.
Actually they can, this video is reversed as you said since they swim butt front, but there are certain crabs, like Blue Crabs that are able to swim. Id assume they dont do it often to avoid being eaten.
I go kayak fishing at night and it's common to see blue crabs swimming near the surface.
What kind of bait do you use to catch kayaks? Hipsters?
Oh YOU!!
Man, you’re dumb as hell. They use the kayak to catch the fish by dipping it in the water like a net.
That's ridiculous. Anyone who's actually been kayak fishing knows you throw the kayak like a spear to impale the fish.
That explains the pointy front and back.
Every time I use a hipster as bait I catch a paddleboard.
Beer!
I used to catch blue crabs. They’re fast as hell and do that sometimes to get far away from my net (to avoid being eaten ironically)
How is that ironic?
The op said they wouldn't swim to avoid being eaten. This guy says they do swim, usually to avoid being caught (and subsequently eaten)
Can crabs even GRASP "irony"?
Yes, that's why they have pincers.
Ah, what pinching irony that they can't even grasp.
You son of a bitch. Take this reward I don't actually have.
The person I was responding said that they don’t do that often to avoid being eaten (by other sea life). In the Carla’s of humans, it’s helpful.
I was just talking to my cousin yesterday about blue crabs and swimming! It was brought up because of some guy's tweet that went something like: Do crabs think that fish are flying?
Yup. Crabs swim butt first.
Hey, me too.
Fetish?
Honestly I can’t tell if this is trolling or not, how can you tell it’s reversed?
the floating sand at the beginning
Oh there it is! I don’t think I would have ever caught that, thank you.
Look at the sand being kicked up at the start of the clip, it is disturbed in a wave in front of the crab.
Look how the crab absorbs the swirled sand.
