Swimming

Skill, Background

Swim competently. 50 XP.

From the book

A character who can swim does so fairly well and, under most ordinary conditions, has no reason to fear drowning in deep water. Non-swimmers must fall back on the common ability of Keeping Afloat. Swimming costs 50 XP, is a background option for barbarians and villagers, and corsairs start with it.
