The skill ID for Swim in Valheim, with raiseskill and resetskill commands to set your level from the console.

About

Raising the Swim skill decreases the amount of stamina that is used and subsequently allows the player to swim farther before running out of stamina and taking damage.

Overview

Swim is one of Valheim's character skills, tracked under the internal ID Swim. Determines stamina drain while swimming.

Experience is gained at 0.3 per second while swimming.

At max level (100) it grants -50% stamina usage.

Leveling & Death Penalty

Every Valheim skill ranges from level 0 to 100, and its bonus grows as the level climbs — the -50% stamina usage above is the full value you reach at level 100. Swim earns experience at 0.3 per second while swimming, so it climbs fastest when you use it deliberately.

Dying is the catch: each death drains roughly 5% of your level in every skill, Swim included, so a hard-won level erodes quickly on a dangerous run. To claw it back without the grind, run raiseskill Swim 10 — that adds ten levels at once, and you can pass any amount (or a negative number to lower it). Prefer a clean slate? resetskill Swim wipes the skill back to 0.
