📋 About This Mod
Thanks to neeher's awesome swimming mod,swimming in boston become such a joyment,but I got little sick when I perform the swimsprint,so I decided to redo the animation,reduce the camera shaking,along with the brand new idle and swim animation.
Just make sure you downloaded the Swimming ESL 1. 0 from neeher's files and test it first.
This is just a set of animation files,replace neeher's swimming animations, and it won't cause any trouble,if there is one,it can only be the animation bug.
So don't bother me with
unrelated
issues,I'm tired.If there's any problem related,I'll try my best to fix it.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust: 1,965 endorsements and 331k downloads.
- Directly addresses a common annoyance—camera bobbing—making swimming feel smoother.
- Lightweight animation tweak that doesn't overhaul other mechanics.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2022—may not be compatible with the latest Skyrim version or other animation mods.
- Only affects first-person swimming; third-person players won't see changes.
For Skyrim players who spend time swimming in first-person and find the default camera bobbing nauseating. If you're a third-person player or don't swim often, this mod won't matter much to you.
