Swimming in Limsa Lominsa

Can you add swimming to people who fall off (also add the ability to fall off) the piers in Limsa Lominsa?

Adds realism, fun, and sure some annoyance if you do fall off, but I think it'd be fun.

Would also be cool to be able to dive, pass by some schools of fish and sharks, see the wreckage of sunken ships covered in seaweed and half turned into coral reefs, and treasures and wares that were accidentally dropped into the water. Maybe you could even have a minigame where you are tasked with going down and picking some of that stuff up, and while you're down there, you could see other salvagers in diving bells. Maybe there could also be secret passages down there, like the inside of a wrecked ship that has a pocket of air and some guys or an organization hanging out in there (maybe it's their base?).

The water by most port cities tends to be pretty disgusting, due to people tending to just dump their garbage into the water (and in times before internal plumbing, that includes, ah, chamber pots). You sure you really wanna go there?

Not to mention Limsa Lominsa is a working harbour, with ships and boats of all kinds departing and arriving constantly. Not a safe place to go for a swim at all.

Yes I am xD. Not necessarily as a water pool kind of situation, but they haven't done much with swimming already, and it does seem like the kind of thing that would be part and parcel of living in a city like Limsa Lominsa. SURELY drunken pirates have fallen off a city that is basically cliffs. But then again I'd love to see all those ships in the background being loaded and going and coming in as well, it would just make the city more vibrant. And AFAIK all these things are feasible.

Limsa could have a swim area maybe not right at the main aether but perhaps where ocean fishing is located or near the fishing guild. And Mist especially could have been expanded more along the lines of Costa. I've always been disappointed with their simply adding swimming to Mist with nothing really added like an island or two we could swim to and hang out and party at.

I'm loving the idea of being able to swim down to a shipwreck or two. Maybe add some underwater sightseeing spots around limsa?
