The swimming of a circular disk at low Reynolds number is studied for distortion waves along its two planar surfaces with wavelength much smaller than the size of the disk. The calculation is based on an extension of Taylor's work for a planar sheet. It is shown that in general the disk performs both translational and rotational swimming, resulting in a circular orbit.
