Overview

There can be many different reasons for not being able to swim. Maybe they never learned how to swim. Maybe they are simply so heavy that they sink to the bottom immediately. Maybe they're afraid of water or have been cursed so that they'll die in water. Maybe the water has been contaminated by something that makes it deadly to swim in.
