Both would be amazing....but I would opt to be able to fly.
Like an Eagle or a Falcon maybe. Even a Cardinal!
(But not like a fly or a Mosquito.)

With that in mind..would you change your mind?
I suppose my ears would give me trouble also at high altitudes as well but I suppose I'll stick with a high flying large majestic bird of some sort. Then I can also be on a coin.

Which would you choose?

Fly or Swim? And what form would you want to be?

This is a hard one for me. Diving deep in the oceans as a whale...seeing things no human can see up close and personal. Or, in coral reefs where color is mind boggling, as a dolphin. Sounds great. But....

I would choose a bird. Any big bird so I can travel as far as I can in that 24 hours. Soaring in the sky, brushing the tops of pine trees or tropical forests, high up to see the panoramic views or swooping down over a flower covered meadow with creeks and streams up to waterfalls.

And you?
Fly

If I stay in the pool too long my skin wrinkles, if I’m on the top floor of a building looking down towards the street I get a little nauseous so heights and flying isn’t my thing nor staying in the water too long. How about if I just stay with who I am and sit on the boardwalk at the beach drinking iced tea while feeding bread crumbs to the seagulls and watching the whales swimming?

Can I choose this Big bird instead?

Gosh, I would love to do both, but I can only hold my breath for so long.

I'd want to be a very large - top of the food chain - sea animal.
