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

We get a nice big ocean area in Thavnair, which is the only place where it really makes sense. Sharlayan's main harbour doesn't sound like a sensible swimming spot, and the other zones don't feel like places that I'd want to swim.

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.
