Game Mechanics: Swimming wasn't level capped in the classic era.

Well if it's wrong, I'd like to see it corrected.

OP mentions alcohol tolerance, begging, fishing, sense heading, and swimming.

Swimming and Sense Heading were definitely able to be raised to cap without level restriction.

When Kunark came out I would regularly leave my pc on overnight on a new character, swimming into a corner all night to max it out. Sense Heading you could macro to use it over and over and I would do that until it was high enough to consistently succeed in the past.

Unfortunately the others I never raised much on live. Begging I think I had raised pretty high once btu don't recall my actual level.

For some context, this is a fairly recent post on the EQ forum from 2015:

A relevant quote:
"Oh hm. This is a good one. It used to be done a lot, especially in Erudin at one of the fountains."

And:

"[...] though I remember being afk'd out doing it on Ragefire, so that shouldn't be a problem even if they did have to turn the afk kick back on. I just want to make sure I'm not going to get banned for overnight swimming is all =)"
