Go into third person mode, hold page up or whatever your chosen hotkey is until you move upward when you swim. You want to angle up enough to not sink/drown, not enough that you start to jump out of the water. Next turn on autorun, and hold a directional key so that your character spins, and then tab out. If you tab out while swimming upwards and spinning with a directional key (not mouse), your character will continue to swim in a circle.

Hope this helps.

Alternatively you can hit the auto-run key (num lock by default I believe). Or hit enter while moving to began a chat which will lock you into an auto run in the same motion just like the tabbing out suggestion would.

IIRC swimming is capped based on level now, so increases only occur in increments unless you're of a higher level and neglected swimming. That's been my experience on low level alts at least, number doesn't go up beyond a certain point until gaining additional levels.

^^^ what he said.

Running along the everfrost frozen river is not the most efficient, but the most fun way to level swimming
