swimming at warp 9

I have created a set of underwater swimming animations for my Scuba gear.
I have loaded the animations into a ZHAO , but if I am swimming horizontally I am propelled at a speed as if I have a 200HP. outboard engine strapped to my ass...

Anybody some idea to slow me down before I reach my Sim border?

I'm not sure how they do it off-hand, but the swim HUD I have includes an option to dampen your movement speed in the water. If I had to guess at how to do it, I'd first look at capturing the movement inputs and then do the moving myself (albeit at a slower speed). Dunno if that'd work, but it's the first thing that popped into my head.

The only thing i can think of -- and this is just a shot in the dark -- is that you're maybe also wearing some sort of flight enhancer that's getting confused, be it by the way it's set up or by the way you've configured the ZHAO, into thinking you are flying at warp speed when, in fact, you are swimming.

Anims on their own can't directly affect the speed at which you move; they're a client-side visual effect, So your ZHAO's playing the anim must be triggering something else to cause the phenomenon you describe.

Or do you perhaps do something else to trigger the anim (some combination of keystrokes) that also acts as a gesture to trigger some sort of movement enhancer you've forgotten you're wearing or didn't realise was part of something else you habitually wear?

Could you swim for a target?
