Has anybody discovered how to prevent drowning in the pools
filled with 'muddy water and eels'?  I have died numerous times
this way, and most of the times I have teleported
right into the water, so I didn't get a chance to plan a strategy.
How do you learn to swim?

Does weight have anything to do with the ability to swim, or is it just
pure luck?

I was down to level 23 yesterday when I teleported into the pool, and
drowned immediately.  This reminds me of the times I fell down the stairs
onto a cockatrice corpse (remainders of a ghost's pack) and was 
turned to stone.


Thanks,
Sue
