Swim: Usage: automatic The swim skill is available to all classes and is specifically used to allow passage over watery terrain (deep water). It is possible to fly over this type of terrain which does not require swimming. However, it should be noted, even when you are flying over a watery terrain, your ability to swim may improve. The reasoning for this is simple. As you grow more familiar with a particular type of action, whether performing it yourself or watching others perform it, you can improve in your ability to perform the action. In succession, it is possible to improve your ability in some feat, not only by performing the event, but by being exposed to the aspects of the feat itself (in this case being exposed to the specific terrain type). Therefore, it is argued that by merely flying over the terrain type you can improve in your ability to traverse it by understanding its architecture from a distance. Keep in mind, swimming is difficult and takes a lifetime to fully master. For more information see 'help climb'.
