Pond tool being used on a lot seen in the new Cottage Living trailer, seen at 1:50 (link below).
A sim can be seen splashing in the edge of the pond in a bathing suit on a lot on the official pack features page. Gurus confirmed (on Twitter) that sims will be able to splash at the edge of ponds, but not able to fully swim in them.

Ponds just doesn’t seem to be too important to be tied to the pack, as the sofas were to the GP.
Do you think they could be live ducks or just decorations like the water lilies? I can't remember seeing live ducks in the teaser. Surely it would have been shown in the teaser, along with the other new animals...
This aside I'm really interested how ponds will behave in winter? Will they freeze?
> Yes, pond terrain tool is definitely coming. But I'm cautious. I wouldn't say for now they are swimmable. We can see the kid wading in the water. Just like sims can do in current bodies of water in some non-swimmable worlds. Wee do not know for sure there's actually swimming besides wading. I really hope there is. But I'm afraid to be disappointed.

In the official trailer, about 20 seconds in you can see 4 adult Sims swimming in the pond. I'm putting my hopes up!
They are swimming in the local river, though.
update: Confirmed no swimming in ponds but wading and fishing. Will also come with more items to add to.

Where exactly it says about alligators ?

Hey thanks, I thought it was a lake haha.
Can Sims swim in Sims 4 at all if you don't have Island Living? I've only started playing on Sims 4 recently (big user of 1 and 3) and only got the base game so far and they can't swim on community lots that have fishing options. If I get Cottage Living only will swimming be included?
Watch Iron Seagull's Video I posted. That's were it's mentioned.
