Good point ... I'll look at it when I propose swimming underwater

Point of note ... I've never proposed that a character can only hold one's
breath underwater for only 30 or so seconds ... I've proposed that once
one is trying to breathe water without the appropriate equipment one can
stay conscious for HEA/2 rounds.

I'll cover holding one's breath after we get drowning hammered out

i.e. once a character runs out of breath, THEN he'll begin drowning ...
the proposal from the other day is ONLY for the "THEN he'll be drowning"
bit.
