The real beauty of this setup is that it not only teaches your dwarves to swim{{verify}} and gives them a much needed wash,{{verify}} it will give them happy [[Mist|waterfall thoughts]], too! | The real beauty of this setup is that it not only teaches your dwarves to swim{{verify}} and gives them a much needed wash,{{verify}} it will give them happy [[Mist|waterfall thoughts]], too! | ||
− | + | == Murky pool outdoor method === | |
Build a large platform with drainage grates above a murky pool. Install pumps and pump water all over it. Then make it a barracks and get your dwarves to spar there. Your dwarves will gain swimming skill and be insulated against [[cave adaptation]] as they spar. And you will have to pump one fewer level, in case you don't like using the powered-pump exploit. Also if you use unpowered pumps you could increase your dwarves' toughness even faster. It's also a way to use up some relatively useless real estate (if you simply sparred in the outside, your dwarves would trample the grass.) I haven't actually tried this yet but it should work. | Build a large platform with drainage grates above a murky pool. Install pumps and pump water all over it.
