The title says it all, please add strength XP to swimming.
As the act of swimming is more physically involved than running while under equal weight loads, and assuming said load isn't in excess to cause you to sink. :lol: Something (hopefully) simple for you guys to add.

I agree, strength should be able build up while swimming too. I mean, it's already built in the game as one of the best ways to get aaaaaaabs.

abs should do something, like if you look ultra buff people should say "look at how buff that guy is" or, "he looks like he can beat us up, better not try to take his food"

Totally different request now, but yes, it would be a neat idea to have people (or even your other characters) comment on a character's stats, like Muscle Bulk and Muscle definition.

Incidentally, I don't think all the logic around the swimming skill is in the game yet. Note that the description says it affects how long and far you can swim without drowning. I think the only reason drowning isn't in the game yet, is because Chris fears the obvious sorts of horror stories that would rise up when people lose their characters to being knocked out in the water, or by having their ragdoll flung/fall into the water. Now that I think about it, that be an easy way for a player to deal with unconscious bodies too...

i know acid works

i have not tried to crash the game by having someone die from swimming in acid. I bet that is a crash.

Will underwater exploration be a thing in the future?

Also if swimming would give STR xp, Smithing should also give
