  • And several others...
  • Swimming is a skill used to swim on water tiles. It can be a dangerous practice to people with a really low skill, as it is fairly easy to just stop moving as the character is drowning. After three or four times the player cannot move, it usually dies. For this reason it's advisable to swim on the coast to train the skill, and start using it as a boat alternative to do some Passive Fishing, or just take some Njerpez by surprise, after the player has reached 50-60 % proficiency with it.
  • Swimming is a which allows a Player to move in any direction (horizontally or vertically) while underwater in a Minecraft world. A player may also swim across the Water's surface. This mechanic functions the same way when swimming in Lava, but if playing in survival mode, a player will not be able to stay in the lava for long before they burn to death.
  • Similar to horseriding, it is advisable that you invest a single skill point into swimming early on. This can help you escape from enemies at lower level or cross areas of water that would otherwise require a lengthy walk on foot. Investing multiple points into the Swimming Skill will increase the Hero's swimming speed. Wearing certain Heavy Armors can prevent the Hero from swimming, causing him to simply drown.
  • Swimming is a speed based skill that is only available in the Elona+ mod of Elona. It allows you to move faster when you are wet. This does not apply if mounted. Even if the mount has the skill, they don't get the bonus. The skill trains with every turn passed with the wet status, unless you have a magaqua in your inventory. You do still get the speed bonus if you have a maqaqua, though. The increase in speed follows this formula: Speed increase = Swimming / 2

  • Swimming is an old sport where there is one runner who will run a certain distance, usually one or two millimeters, and the longest on record was one centimeter.

  • Swimming represents an individual's proficiency at swimming, as well as their ability to function while under water.

Libby Lawrence was an Olympic Level swimmer who once crossed the English Channel in the days before World War II.
  • Another benefit of swimming is that it removes all negative Special Conditions. The cleansing salt water can also clean the hands of a player who wishes to unwrap furniture packages, but does not wish to dirty his house.

  • Time Taken: One round to several minutes or hours. This skill represents the character's ability to stay afloat in aquatic environments — lakes, oceans, flooding rivers and luxury starliner swimming pools. Swimming difficulties are determined by the water conditions: the starliner pool is Very Easy, while a roaring river might be Very Difficult. When a character fails a swimming check, he begins to drown. Roll 2D at the beginning of each round; if the total is less than the number of rounds that the character has been drowning, the character drowns and dies. Characters can attempt other actions while drowning at a -3D penalty. Characters who are drowning may attempt to save themselves once per round. They must make a swimming total at one level of difficulty higher than the one in which th
  • Swimming is usually considered as a death trap in any map featuring water. It is generally considered as an idiotic move as no damage can be dealt while swimming. When reaching deep water you will begin to swim. You can use speed abilities or widgets in water to swim faster ensuring your survival (To a point). You will swim the faster swimming-style, Australian-Crawl if you use a speed-boost. Normaly your swimming style will be breast-stroke.
  • Swimming is the form of moving in water. Swimming improves one's Athletics more than Running does in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. While swimming, one's Fatigue does not regenerate as fast if one was walking or swimming slowly. Although, at higher levels, it does not matter. There is a thin layer between the surface and where one's vision goes slightly foggy in water; this layer shows everywhere underwater clear as if one was on land. One can dive underwater by looking down and pressing or pushing the forward key or stick.
  • Having a skill in Swimming allows the Hero to properly swim underwater. Without the skill, he will rather comically flail about if he attempts to dive into the water.

  • Similar to the mechanic of walking, Jimmy can vary his swimming speed - notably done by changing from a breast-stroke done at a walking pace to the freestyle done at sprinting pace. In the game, Jimmy is required to swim for four different errands - beating Justin Vandervelde's swimming record, collecting crabs for Mr. Martin, exploring the "last island", and exploring the ship wreck for Pedro De La Hoya. To obtain the bonus Pirate hat, Jimmy will have to swim to an island in the ocean inlet and knock out Vance Medici, who will be in his Halloween costume.
  • Swimming is the various kicking and twitching motions that Humans and Animals use to move through the water using only body power. In order to swim you must cover yourself in a gooey buoyant substance called shmectagel. Failure to cover oneself in shmectagel before entering any body of water results in instant (and irreversable) spontaneous human combustion. Note that some men wear thongs, in order to decrease wind resistance, and have the penis act as a paddle.
  • Although swimming was essential for survival for many species, over the centuries swimming became a favorite past time for humanoids. As well as swimming in natural water environments, swimming pools were built to allow people to swim more safely than could be possible in natural water. Swimming as an organized activity goes back as far as 2500 B.C. in ancient Egypt. However, swimming pools did not became popular until the middle of the 19th century. http://inventors.about.com/library/inventors/blswimmingpools.htm
  • Swimming is and always has been an excuse for guys to wear tight cloth like garments around their genital areas and for girls to show off the slight bumps on their chest that they have developed over winter. Of course, some people wear loose swimmers known to many as "board shorts." This is just because their penises are not big enough to fill regular tight swimmers. Swimming is the opposite of walking. Generally it is done in water. It is a useless pastime, as generally swimmers swim up and down a hole filled with water, when walking along the side is three times as fast?
  • The game of water polo involved swimming. (ENT: "Vox Sola", "The Catwalk") While he, Leonard McCoy and Nyota Uhura were considering the various programs available in the rec room, Hikaru Sulu suggested a swim at the beach.

In 1986, Spock swam alongside George and Gracie in a whale tank at the Cetacean Institute. He earned the trust of the whales and was able to mind meld with one of them. (Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home)

Basics
  • The higher a PC's Swimming skill, the more chance they have of successfully swimming in water and the less damage they take from unsuccessful attempts . PCs who do not have the skill tend to take a lot more damage in water than those who have a 'Poor' rating in the skill — if a PC enters water without having the skill at all, they tend to take a considerable amount of damage relative to their max HP , which seems to increase with each step they take in water. Note that even if a PC has a skill of 100 in Swimming, which will prevent damage from swimming through standard bodies of water, it will not prevent damage taken from drowning in the Water Dragon Cave. The only way to prevent damage from drowning underwater is to have the water breathing intrinsic.
