I'm fine with free or level-designed swimming... but what exactly does level-designed swimming really mean?
It means designing the area to actually make swimming useful, i.e in FFXI The Alzadaal Undersea Ruins could have been a ruins you eventually found while traveling underwater which you then enter and take part in the content found there instead of entering it via cave/staging point. -- Also like in platformers where you have to jump across crumbling (insert) type of platforms, things like that.
