Swimming
Most cities in Norrath are conveniently located near ponds or large bodies of water, and some even have fountains and underwater aqueduct systems. You can swim in water for a short period of time. The better you are at swimming, the longer you can hold your breath.

To swim:

• Walk into the water. Notice that a new gauge appears. This is an important gauge; it indicates how much air you have left. When it runs out your character will begin to suffocate.
• Pan your view down and move forward to swim down.
• Watch your air gauge. When it gets low, emerge for air.
• Pan your view up and move forward to swim up to take a breath.

Note: You can swim with your head above water by panning the view up slightly.
