How Fast Can A Weightless Human 'Swim' On Air Using Medieval Tech?

+0
−0

This world has gravity, air, and clouds. If humans are weightless yet still has mass, it's gonna take some force to accelerate them. How fast can they move on air, say, if they had fins like divers? By the way everything they wear does have weight. So their clothes are still gonna fall. Only the body doesn't. So if they use tools like diver fins they need to be taken into account. The tools they use doesn't need to be fins, it's just an example. My questions is how fast can they possibly be using any tool. Also the technological level is medieval so no plastic.

Also instead of being weightless what if they can control their weight from normal to zero net force at will? Would it give them a better chance at being faster on air?
