Talk:Swimmer

In version 50.12, I just had a dwarf fall one z-level into 7/7 water when river ice melted underneath him. He had no swimming experience, not even dabbling, but got out on his own with no ill effects. Dwarf Therapist, which I use only as a reader, reports 2/500 swimming experience after leaving the river. The ice had ended in an ice wall face a few tiles downstream where I had created a new channel for the melt water, so he was not in 7/7 for a long time, maybe only 20 ticks or so. Also, he is "indefatigable and strong." But there was never a tick where he was stunned or drowning. He just calmly suspended the construction job he was working on. So I question whether dwarves with "no experience as Swimmers will start drowning immediately upon contact with deep surface water" and "everyone is stunned by falling into water" as stated in the article.
