============================================
Thanks for checking out this innovative product. This little gadget lets you swim far off your coast to no man's sea, you won't experience a bump when you hit 256m, just perfect swimming freedom!
No avatar limit, all your sim visitors can use it at the same time!
IMPORTANT:
- Don't get this item only for swim animations! You can get them here for free: https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/Thors-Oak-Swim-Animations-Test-Version-with-HUD/3308143
- Swimable area depends on your sim's location (see point 4). Works the best with standalone regions with water on all sides.
- You'll only gain access to off-sim territories, not restricted areas.
- Item has to be rezzed, it's not a wearable.
- Scripts are no mod
========================================================
User Guide
1. Requirements:
===========
• Land with water or directly neighboring an off-sim area (see point 4)
• Rez rights on your land (no ownership required)
• 4-5 prims allowance (can be reduced by modifying the rezzer)
2. Setting up:
=========
• Place the Rezzer (stones) somewhere near the coast.
• If you rezzed it close enough to a coast, it will attempt to find the right direction.
• Script will warn you if this fails, and this case you'll have to manually rotate the rezzer. The biggest stone should face the water.
• The rezzer will detect if your island is standalone (no limitations), has neighbours (some limitations apply) or landlocked (limited to in-sim waters)
• Click rezzer to activate/deactivate. Activated state rezzes the wooden sign which contains the animator.
• Clicking the sign will take you to the water immediately.
Note: Don't worry about losing/deleting wooden signs, they are temporary prims, they will disappear quickly when not in use.)
Note: Rezzer can be modified, which makes it possible to hide it or reduce prim count.
3. Swim functions:
============
• Arrow keys to swim/backswim and turn
• PgUp and PgDn to dive
• Standing up will eject you to the nearest in-sim area
4. Acessible area depending on sim location
==============================
If your sim has no neighbours, you can swim:
• water territories of your sim
• all off-sim area up to 700m distance
If your sim has neighbours but not on all sides, you can swim:
• water territories of your sim (neighbouring sims can't be accessed)
• neighbouring off-sim areas in 256m distance from border
On a landlocked sim (for example mainland), you can swim:
• water territories of your sim (neighbouring sims can't be accessed)
Swim height is always water level, this can't be changed.
5. Important notes
============
LIMITATIONS: - You'll need to rez the object to use. This is not a HUD or attachment!
- Works only with real SL water, and only at water level.
- SL Collision and physics only partially apply: real ground stops the swimmer, but you cannot limit swim area by other objects.
FREEBIE ANIMATIONS USED: If you only need the animations, you can get them for free: https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/Thors-Oak-Swim-Animations-Test-Version-with-HUD/3308143
FUTURE FUNCTIONALITY IS NOT GUARANTEED. Linden Labs and Viewers might set limitations to the functions that make the InfinitySwim engine currently functional. If you experience loss of functionality that previously worked, please contact the creator about possible updates. Please try inworld before purchase.
CONTAINS TEMP REZZER. It's unlikely that more than 2 temporary prims are rezzed at the same time, therefore this shouldn't affect sim performance.

Priceless and Mandatory
No more complicated swimming systems and setups, drop, touch, swim, dive down and up, go off sim... Very low lag, low prim, here, I made a video about it, cheers - https://youtu.be/3eXEOo2INio
Where has this been all my virtual life?!
I came across this by accident after searching for something completely unrelated, and honestly wasn't completely convinced it would work. I mean, we've all read some reviews that sound too good to be true. But I thought; "What the hell? Why not try it out?" Damn!
First and foremost; It does what it says straight out of the box. And it was so easy to set up.
1) Literally rez the rocks near the water's edge of my (rental) parcel,
2) Click on the rocks to get the wooden sign pop-up,
3) Click the sign,
4) Swim!
I never knew it was possible to swim so far out of parcel waters before. Again; where has this product been all my virtual life?!
Okay, the only (slight) drawbacks are;
1) The animation/s are a bit basic. I believe there's ways to load your own anyway so that's really not an issue. I've used FAR worse.
2) The camera angle appears locked. You can use mouselook when you move as well as the default distant camera angle, but you can't zoom in as you move - only when you stop/tread water. Also, the further out you go the more the camera "slides" back to you. It's not jarring or anything, but from what I've seen and experienced, once you tread water the camera slides back to and through you. It's not a big issue at all, but if you're looking to take pics you may need to work around that.
In summary, there's a few essential things that go with me whenever I move house around the grid. I can already tell this will be one of those things. A definite 5 out of 5 stars.
