What's the difference between natation and natatory?
Natation
Definition:
(n.) The act of floating on the water; swimming.
Example Sentences:
(1) But a decrease in size of the nucleolus is also observed during the differentiation of the midgut cells of Gyrinus natator where the crystals are not present.
(2) The pattern of skull growth of the rice rat (Oryzomys palustris natator) over the pre-weaning period of development reveals a characteristic triphasic outline which stems, in part, from the interplay of the external environment and the genetic endowment.
(3) A survey of skull development of the rice rat (Oryzomys palustris natator) covering a period of 21 days to 16 months involving equal numbers of males and females (108) was undertaken using various skull parameters.
Natatory
Definition:
(a.) Adapted for swimming or floating; as, natatory organs.
Example Sentences:

(2) Bands running into the fingers represent thickening and fibrosis of the natatory ligaments.
(3) Proximally the cord receives fibers from the periosteum at the base of the proximal phalanx, from the ulnar end of the natatory ligament, and from the pretendinous fibers of the A1 pulley.
(4) The pharmacological activity of hematoporphyrin has been studied on two experimental models which are able to monitor the motor coordination in the rat, namely the natatory exhaustion and the Rota-Rod tests.
(5) Superficial axial veins run principally in the subdermal layer of the finger; they drain either directly to dorsal veins or to the natatory vein on the ligament of the same name.
(6) the Krebs cycle, was ascertained as the principal mode of obtaining energy in the free natatorial cercaria and metacercaria, and glycolysis as the main energy path for the undetached larva.
