When you swim
You are actually flying and can use Page Up or Page Down to change depth - it will be show on the HUD
In order for you to stay in the water the Swim aid limit you moved close to the surface!
When swimmingup and you get 2 meter from the surface you move will be stoped - release Page Up and hit again to go to one meter and once again to surface.
When you dive down from the surface the procedure is the same. Just use Page Down.
Surf: Surface
High: 1 meter deep
Low: 2 Meter deep
Deep: free swimming below 2 meter.
Button: you swim on ground level (walk or run)
If you press Page Up while swimming in the surface you can make a jump out of the water.
Have fun

WAY better than all the others
There are a lot of "Swim Controllers" and some even proclaiming to be specific to Mermaid, Sea Monster, Name-your-speciality. I know: I have many of them. The best one so far I have ever seen is free with a particular (and best in SL) Mermaid AO - except that your avie height can affect how you hover at the surface of the water.
THIS ONE FIXES THAT.
Like many, this one allows you to choose your speed (Normal too-fast flight or slowed down) and like some others it allows you to swim at specific depths, but unlike every other this one allows you to change and otherwise customize your HOVER height.
PRO TIP For Yabusaka Petite Mermaids: -0.45 is perfecto!
I didn;t need to find a new swimmer control until I went to my Petitie - and ALL the other swimmers just don;t take body size into account. NONE OF THEM.
Well, THIS ONE DOES. So it works for Petitie size and I am sure Toddleedoo and SMB and SL Kids and probably even the Micro-sized avies (though I suspect they could be eaten by minnows, so too dangerous to swim anyway, but even so: it should work!)
Features of HUD function poorly
Other than the fact that this swim aid works well when swimming on the surface of the water, I am unable to use most other functions due to bug or incompatibility with my AO. When I try to use the slow or fast swim option, the animation won't play and repeats the first half second constantly. The animation works on medium speed, but on this speed, turning makes my avatar "vibrate" as the animation plays. My other swim aid does not cause these problems to happen. I've tried to contact the creator of this item and did not receive any response.
