You are not going to pass a skillcheck against a rip current once it has you.

Waves will not bow to your physical prowess no matter how impressive.

Shock does not care that you used to be on your school swim team.

If you hit your head, being good at swimming isn't going to turn you face-up while you're unconscious.

as you cool down, your muscles stiffen, you lose the ability to swim much faster than usual (again, not even always in cold water!), and you drown.

to remain warm until rescue, it's important to stay still and get into the H.E.L.P. position to preserve body heat.

you can't do that treading water. You can only do that with a proper flotation device.

I once went into the water on a nice, sunny day at a popular boating lake surrounded by boaters. It took 45 minutes to be rescued. Could you swim for that long? Could you swim for that long while shivering and stiff?

When she fell off it she said she got a second wind to swim to shore because she “couldn’t traumatize the trans people even more.” If she wasn’t as fit as she was, she probably wouldn’t have been able to swim against the current.
