Looking at it closer, I realise that the swimming forms are a bug, not an
intended change. So I'm fixing it. I'm still wondering about the fact that
unbreathing == swimming. At the very least, grey drac should get the
"splashing around" to_hit penalty in shallow water. Or we can actually say
that they can swim.
