Swimming is a speed based skill that is only available in the Elona+ mod.
- 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.
- Starting from version 1.995, the speed increase is 40% of your swimming skill (previously it was 50%).
- Fin crocodile has the special ability that multiplies the speed bonus from Swimming by 1.5 times.
- Also, starting with version 1.995, characters receive an evasion (the one seen on the character sheet, so use that to check how your evasion has changed) penalty when standing on a water tile while Wet... but, this decrease is ameliorated by Swimming skill, and at high levels may even cause evasion stat to increase instead (this is simulate aquatic animals' advantages in water).
In the original Elona, the swimming skill was a joke, being mentioned in two false fortunes that could be shown when eating a fortune cookie. The fortunes stated that it could only be learnt through wishing, and if trained enough, would allow you to swim to another continent.
Trained skill[]
In North Tyris, you can learn the skill from the trainer in Port Kapul. South Tyris locations need to be added later.

will increase Swimming by 1 level and train its potential. It is unknown if this could end up training another skill instead, so use at your own risk.
