Swimming in LD?

So last nights lucid dream was a night of firsts for me

First time catching a False Awakening
First time racing a flightless bird (not kidding)
First time mind controlling a DC
and of course first time swimming

The swimming was the most interest one however because it led to my false awakening. The sensation of the water was very strange. It seemed viscous and gave me that kind of pins and needles feeling. It wasn't even much of swimming, more of just slowly submerging myself into this warm goo that I passed out in, that happened to be a pool

Does anyone else have any stories or experiences of swimming or trying to swim in a Lucid Dream?

I have swam a number of times in my lucid dreams. My most memorable one was when I was swimming in a clear blue ocean with hundreds of sharks and dolphins.
To be honest, I didn't swim properly. I just glided underwater as if I was flying, there was no effort involved.

I have never faced a problem with the water being to fierce or thick. This is something that you need to overcome in your mind. The water will only appear and feel how you imagine it.
However, I did once swim in chocolate sauce. Which was pretty gooey to say the least :P
