The normal swimming animation has made a come back with IL, though non of my sims are using it. They are still doing their little "doggie" paddle. I could have sworn I read or heard some place that if sims were level 5 fitness or higher, that they would swim normally? Or does that option only unlock if your sim is a lifeguard like in Sims 3?
If that is the issue, has anyone released a mod that allows sims to swim normally?

There's also a big jump in swim speed from level 5 to 6.
Here's some pics I took a few days ago in the Windenburg public pool:
That's not doggie paddle. That's breast stroke.
@Beardedgeek, okay. No biggie. *shrugs*
I agree! I'm assuming an English/US English thing here, since 'Freestyle' is what we would call front crawl here in the UK. And doggy-paddle looks, well, like a dog swimming. Dogs definitely don't do breast-stroke!
Linguistics aside, all my sims use the faster stroke when going farther, and the slower when just ambling about. All of them have some levels in fitness though, so I'm not sure where the new animation kicks in. Or what mods might conflict!
Yeah I think you need both fairly deep water and high fitness for "crawl".
