'''Ocean swimming''' is a feature that enables Sims to swim in the ocean or open seas, firstly introduced in ''[[The Sims 2: Bon Voyage]]'' for ''[[The Sims 2]]''. It was later introduced for ''[[The Sims 3]]'' in ''[[The Sims 3: Seasons]]'', although the feature is now available in [[The Sims 3/Patch 42|Patch 42]] for players who do not have ''Seasons''.

The feature was introduced for ''The Sims 3'' with the announcement of ''Seasons''. A few months later, the developers had confirmed that it would be on Patch 42, just for the players without ''Seasons''.
 
Line 35 ⟶ 36:
Sims are able to swim on a body of water even if it has unroutable paint laid down beneath the water. There's a different paint type that's used around the edges of the world to block the camera from going too far – Sims won't be able to swim beyond that point (or wherever that paint is laid down).
 
When swimming, Sims gain their [[Athletic (skill)|Athleticathletic]] skill but lose [[energy]] motive, which can cause fatigue. They cannot [[Drowning|drown]] or skinny dip. They can splash at one another, similar in a [[swimming pool]], and also relax in the ocean on a lounger.
 
Interestingly, if a Sim has the "Has to Pee" or "Really Has to Pee" moodlet, the timer will freeze while interacting with the ocean (including skipping stones). As a result, a Sim cannot relieve their bladder in the ocean, unlike in a pool where the timer will keep going and the simSim will eventually pee themselves but not lose their hygiene need.
 
Sims can swim on oceans during the winter season and when swimming, they get a positive "Polar Bear Club" [[moodlet]].
