Although adding swimregions looks pretty straight forward I actually had some problems implementing then. I decided to start with a no current region which actually still isn't functioning ;)
Anyway it will eventually and therefor this tutorial will start with start with this seamingly simplest swim region.
Let's have a look at our working model first. I must admit that creativity was at an absolute minus zero when I thought up this little age. Nothing mystical, no fantasy element, nothing. Just the first thing coming to my mind when I thought about swimming ;)
