How it fits. Water is an AreaKind with a surface height; swimming is a player state with buoyancy, a stroke cycle and a breath meter, not a new physics body. The avatar already has a pose blend; swimming adds a horizontal body pose. The camera can stay first-person, with a waterline effect at the surface.

Scope.

Enter and leave water at a shoreline; a dive from a height.
Surface swimming, a breath meter and a gentle drowning reset.
A swim pose and a splash and ripple.
Cold water: a shiver and a reason to warm up.
No underwater campus; the surface is the feature.

Related. #91 (water surface), #211 (sauna), #212 (canoe), #178 (fishing).

The campus has water, and no way to enter it. Swimming would make the ponds and the river a place to be: a dive, a surface swim, a shore, and a shiver when you get out. It is also the foundation for ice swimming (#211), canoeing (#212) and fishing from the water (#178). **How it fits.** Water is an `AreaKind` with a surface height; swimming is a player state with buoyancy, a stroke cycle and a breath meter, not a new physics body.
