Has anybody discovered how to prevent drowning in the pools
filled with 'muddy water and eels'?  I have died numerous times
this way, and most of the times I have teleported
right into the water, so I didn't get a chance to plan a strategy.
How do you learn to swim?

Does weight have anything to do with the ability to swim, or is it just
pure luck?

I was down to level 23 yesterday when I teleported into the pool, and
drowned immediately.  This reminds me of the times I fell down the stairs
onto a cockatrice corpse (remainders of a ghost's pack) and was 
turned to stone.


Thanks,
Sue

1) Don't step into a pool.

2) If you're going to teleport, learn to control it.  Put on a ring of
   teleport control before eating that leprechaun.

If you have the ability to teleport at will (i.e., ^T works), then if
you fall into a pool, you will automatically try to teleport away.

To fight eels, you need the ability to see invisible creatures.  This
can be acquired by wearing a ring of see invisible, or by eating a dead
stalker when you are invisible (drink the potion).  There's no real
point in killing eels except for the experience points or if you're
going to travel through their swamp a lot.
