* When swimming, [[stamina]] is gradually lost with any and all movement, and [[drowning]] will occur when stamina has become exhausted. At this point, players may draw deep from within and try to use [[Last Gasp]] to reach safety, or they can immediately consume a stamina-generating food of some sort. Without some relief, further attempts at movement only then speed along a sure drowning death.
* Not all animals are capable of swimming, and not all swimming animals are capable of being embarked upon and subsequently ridden through water.
* A "swimming" [[creatures|animal]] is characterized as one that does not take drowning damage when in water. The behavior of an animal in water or how it does or does not enter water do not classify it as "swimming" or "non-swimming".
