Swimming should be part of standard avatar behavior. If you want to stay underwater, you should need a diving attachment like a weight belt to pull you down.

That creates a pretty big set of assumptions about the avatar entering the water and how the water is being used.

Pre EEP, I used water as an easy way to get a different environment that wasn't viewer dependent.

Isn't your general mindset that progress sometimes means breaking older content 🤔

Then again, the easy solution would be to just let land owners set a variable "swimming speed" and assume people have swimming AO. As it is, flying is way too fast for precise movement anywhere that might have interesting detail.

It does .. but this isn't going to affect older avatars as oppose to everyone in a none standard (taur, tiny, toodeloo, etc etc) or none human avatar ..
