There aren't a lot of places in Endwalker where it's logical to swim.Quote:

The only place in Endwalker where I ever thought "I want to swim here but can't" is the unique zone created for the Zone 6 gathering tribe quests. They could have made it a practical thing with spearfishing nodes or something, but really just an excuse to put a big lake in there.
Also, while it's not the most exciting of locations, they've gone back and added swimming to Bronze Lake in La Noscea so they may be working on upgrading other areas too. (Surely diving in Costa del Sol would have to become a thing sooner or later?)
As for Dawntrail, I think they said in the keynote that we will be getting some nice places where we can swim.

I wish we could just swim in more places. I don't really care if they are a harbor or not.

This reminds me I need to look around and see if there is a public pool nearby. I need to get back into swimming. Also gives me an excuse to try to work on not being a pale ghost and get some more reading done.

But then there's a spot in Garlemald - freaking GARLEMALD - where you can swim. Not dive, granted, but the fact that I was able to go in the water without an invisible wall stopping me there blew my mind and consequently gave me the mindset of, "if I can swim here, then there's no reason why I shouldn't be able to anywhere else". So now I'm looking pointedly at that pretty spring in Coerthas Western Highlands.
There were a few swimming spots in UT which were neat to have. Not overly practical, but I appreciate them being there all the same. The water biome in Elpis should have had some deeper swimming spots there instead of having the audacity of being entirely ankle deep. That green stuff on the moon that you fish from? I don't know what that is but I still would have liked to swim in it. If not there then the Lopporitts could have made a proper pool.
Like... not every spot has to have diving cause I get they essentially have to make another "zone" for that, but... just let us swim. -

You want to know why they don't want us going into the water?
It's because there are no fingerprints underwater, nothing to tie one to a crime, and if you seek vengeance, all you need are instruments of pain... -
