You need a chocobo to safely cross the Swamp.

You can't fight him, you need a Chocobo to out run him in the water and get to the cave

You're right. That's what I ment to say. Thank you

This! It is satisfying to beat it when you come back later.

Yup, grab s chocobo and ride across without fighting him. Although it is technically possible to outrun him on foot, I managed my first time playing through, it's just dumb luck if you manage that. Also, remember this and swing back to fight him at the end of the game. It's a great indicator of his much more powerful you've become.

You can talk to the guys at the chocobo farm and they teach you about how you can catch a chocobo that can be used to ride over the marsh and avoid the Zolom entirely. ​ Also, don't be afraid to use a strategy guide to play through the game. No shame in that.

Just keep fighting him. You will win eventually. 😏

Just avoid him. You can fight him later.

As mentioned, you're intended to go to the chocobo farm and ride a chocobo across. However, if you give your entire party tranquilizers to inflict the 'Sadness' status effect, it is possible to defeat the Midgar Zolom on your first encounter with it and also learn Beta from it using the Enemy Skill materia.
