Drowning
Swimmers can move in Template:L without drowning.
Dabbling or untrained swimmers will start drowning immediately upon contact with water, and require a Template:L or Template:L to get out. If neither are accessible, they're done for.
A novice swimmer is able to safely get out of water without needing a ramp or stairway, but they will start drowning if Template:L, and once that happens it can be difficult to get them out, as they lose the ability to exit anywhere and behave just like an untrained or dabbling swimmer. Namely, they start drowning. Everyone is stunned by falling into water rather than entering it calmly, which is what normally happens when they aren't entering it of their Template:L.
Adequate swimmers do not panic and start drowning like novices do in that sort of situation, even when attacked, so training to this level is highly recommended.
Learning/Teaching swimming
A dwarf in the water will gain the ability to swim very fast - sadly not fast enough to prevent dying from drowning. While water with a depth of 7/7 is deadly for non-swimmers, less than it will not harm any dwarf. So you can use water from 4/7 to 6/7 safely to teach your little ones how to swim. The speed of learning is independent from the depth, but water with a depth less of than 4/7 is not deep enough to make a dwarf swim and so to learn.
Training your little ones just requires a place of constantly or temporarily 4-6/7 water. To keep them there you can use military orders or make rooms like a meeting hall.
Adventure Mode
In Template:L, as a novice swimmer, by moving carefully (alt+direction) into open space above water and selecting the option to move below (such as West/Below), then you can swim about without getting stunned and starting to drown. To get out, alt-move carefully against a shoreline and select the option to move above.
Swimmers can also dive and rise through the Template:L by pressing > and < respectively. Note that air-breathers will be unable to breathe without air in the tile above them, and without returning to the surface will eventually drown. (Sadly, there's no oxygen meter as of yet, so you'll never know when they're about to expire. Don't linger too long.)
In adventure mode, water preference can be switched between "when possible" and "necessary" by pressing m.
