Is there any way to make my pool(prim)water react as simwater (or do I need to take a bucket and go to search for some nice simwater to fill my pool... lol).
I've got the scripts from "the swimmer" to put into the prim but I want to be able to swim under water (like it works in simwater). I know this is maybe a strange question but can I help it if sl is more like rl to me.

Sorry, grab that bucket.

The only way to make your pool behave like simwater is to sink it into the ground so that it *is* filled with simwater.

There may be scripted swimming pools that allow you to swim in them similarly. It would be nontrivial, but it just might be doable.

slwim should work....use pantom prims to make your water but contain them in a hollowed out normall prim with the same water textures that gives the appearance of being in water....use a texture animation script but slow the speed down so the water is barely moving it looks better in a pool.

Both "The Swimmer" and "SLwim" have modes for sub-surface swimming, as I recall.

But there is no way to exactly duplicate Linden water with prims.

I have a poseball movement solution in Caledon Lionsgate. There are lots of them to try out there including one that dives into a tub of water near the landing point. High dives from nearby towers too! Always free to try, lots of room to swim.

A friend had a fully scripted swimming pool with diving board. As I recall it was menu driven with some separate poseballs.
