Are you looking for a swimming HUD that wasn't designed a decade ago? If so, you're in for a treat.
The only swim HUD reviewed by the esteemed Inara Pey!
https://modemworld.me/2021/06/12/a-dripping-wet-swim-in-second-life/
Not only does the "Dripping Wet" Swimming HUD offer you new, hand-crafted animations to choose from, but it also offers you the ability to dive into the water from shore or from high above! Most importantly, you're going to look great doing it thanks to an innovative new design for a "wet look" that'll get you noticed whether you're male, female, or something in between.
Fully-equipped, you'll have three small HUD buttons to control your swimming, diving, and water effects. In addition to that, the water effects system equips you with over 10 different attachments to control where your drips and splashes emanate from - again, special consideration has been made to accommodate both men and women. While this may seem like a lot of attachments, it should encourage you to wear less clothing - as is right and good!
Before checking out the video, consider and watch for the following features:
SWIMMING
1) Auto-detection of where you are in relation to the water
2) 10 distinct surface swim animations
3) 3 distinct sets of underwater swim animations
4) 6 fun idle animations for relaxing on the surface
5) 4 idle animations for underwater
6) A config file to adjust the Z level for all animations
7) An easy-to-use HUD to make your selections
8) Hand-crafted sound system - even when walking on the beach!
DIVING
1) Smart-detection of whether or not it is safe to dive
2) A dive arc that uses actual algebra
3) Use it directly (1-click) or through the Swim AO's menu.
4) Ability to set and recall your last dive spot and facing
5) 8 distinct dives to choose from
6) Audible splash sound effect and visuals when used with...
WATER EFFECTS & SOUND
1) Unique effects generation for each major body part
2) Suited to both males and females
3) Dare to compare our water effects with anyone else's!
4) Splash your feet along the beach or go deep
5) A dozen attachments to cover you in dazzling droplets!
6) An entirely passive system that knows when you've entered and left the water - as well as how deep you've gone!
7) Handy single-click access to dousing your whole body in water to ease the burn of the summer sun!
EXTRA: A special script to drop into your other favorite AO's that'll turn them on an off as you enter and exit the water.
SET UP YOUR POOL
----------------------
1) In Object Edit Mode, check the "Edit linked" mode and select the "water" volume object of your pool. Make sure the pool volume is MOD and that it is set to PHANTOM.
2) The "water" object should fill the pool itself and should extend to the bottom of your pool.
3) If no such "water" object exists, simply create one to fill the space.
4) Drop the script called ".Lactopia - Pool (Drop into pool Contents Tab)" into the Contents tab of the water object.
5) You're all set. Now, anyone wearing the Dripping Wet Swimming HUD will be able to easily
swim in the pool!
SWIM ANYWHERE!!!
----------------------
1. You'll be able to swim literally anywhere you like by enabling this mode and setting the
appropriate waterline level.
2. Click on the leftmost "swimmer" icon in the Swim HUD. A menu will appear.
3. Click on "Waterline..."
4. Click on "Set Height" and enter the altitude at which you want the waterline to be. This
is great for lakes in the mountains or way up in skyboxes where you might want to swim.
5. Click the "On" bottom.
6. You can toggle this mode anytime by switching between "Off" and "On."

AUTHOR'S NOTE: Swimming and sunbathing are my favorite activities in Second Life. I poured ever ounce of my talent into making this system. I really hope you love it and- if you do- please leave a review!

Love it . great features . could have a few tweaks that wouldn't be hard to implement
(5) Stars for Ingenuity. this by far blows all other swim huds out of the water.
(5) Stars for scripting. Not seen any bugs "yet" works everytime with out flaw
(5) Stars for creativity. Visual and audio effects are so realistic .
(3) Stars for Avatar weight. I was sad to see all the effects take up SO many attachment points requiring me to scale down other things I like to wear on my avatar. I think this can be improved on by making all the parts riged parts to replace the old school prim ones allowing you to Link them all together to be One single attachment. one other suggestion would be is add volume control to the menue would be nice to turn sound down on it a bit and off at times .
Wow
This is by far the best and most extensive swimming hud of it all. I am happy having found this. Its a masterpiece and adding the included wet dripping look to your body makes the immersion perfect. If you love to swim, this AO is the thing you have to get. Nothing else.
Great buy!
This is so much fun :D
I've been using the same swim hud for ages and figured it might be time for a change. This one is my new favorite. I bought it for a friend too and we're having loads of fun with it.
Really kind creator too. I got some awesome landmarks for swimming spots :D
Glad I bought it.
I have had another swimming ao for years and as it worked OK, I never thought about looking for another. Then by chance I read a review in a blog https://modemworld.me/2021/06/12/a-dripping-wet-swim-in-second-life/ . It sounded OK and I thought I would give it a try and I am very glad I did. Additional swimming strokes & diving are included and the AO is a lot less temperamental than the old one. I would recommend this AO for swimming without hesitation.
Amazing and fun!
I was just looking for a basic swim ao that wasn't outdated and got this. Was I ever shocked at how great it is. I didn't even realize it had sounds because honestly I didn't read everything it could do. It really gives that added touch to feeling like your really in water. Come winter when my pool is closed up and the weather is cold I can swim in sl and feel all the happy summer vibes again. They did an amazing job with this, wish I could give it 10 stars.
Just what i was looking for
Been in sl a very long time. tried many of these huds an this one had to be the most easy to use. so simple. pluss the added atchachments for water effects!. Very cool well worth the price, highly recomended!
