What is it that you can’t do at your current swimming level?
It being painfully hard is something that makes people swim & can then brag…
Not everything needs to be easy or accessible, swimming being so hard is just abit of fun
Like @Vollgas said, surely it would just be easier to reset your character rather than an alt?
Just make an NPC option with a few more hoops to jump through to make sure no one does it by accident (we are all stupid)
