DR3	This article needs to be updated for consistency with DR 3.0, DR 3.1 or Magic 3.2. Some information may be incorrect. Swimming ability info should be migrated into Athletics skill. For more articles that need updating to DR3, see Category:Articles for DR3 updates

This article is obsolete.

The information described here is no longer valid in the game,
or refers to an obsolete game system.

Swimming skill no longer exists; was combined into Athletics skill.

The Swimming skill is the survival skill that measures your ability to move through bodies of water under your own power. Large, rushing rivers like the Jantspyre or the Faldesu require a fair or large amount of skill to cross safely, while more placid waters such as the Arthe Dale swimming hole are much less challenging. Still others are little more than large puddles that only get your feet wet (e.g. the little brook you wade through on your way to and from Wolf Clan). Generally, the strength of the water's current and its depth determine how difficult it is to swim in a certain area. Before taking the plunge, these can be estimated by using the command APPRAISE <DIRECTION> to study the waters in the direction you wish to travel.

Swimming also allows Barbarians to use their Dances while in water.

Your success in swimming in a particular body of water depends on several factors. Besides swimming skill, your Strength, Stamina, encumbrance, armor hindrance, and injuries play a role. Note that in earlier years swimming while encumbered would increase your learning while swimming, but this is no longer the case.

Under DR 3.0, Swimming and Climbing will be combined into the new Athletics skill.
