Heh, yeah, Jevanyn, you'd better specify the physical state of the water! And is wading acceptable? For that matter, everyone who gets this will almost certainly also get the [[Underwater Geohash|underwater geohash]], so do we need this as well as that one and the WoW? -[[User:Robyn|Robyn]] 04:04, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

Why is this on a page by itself with no expedition or user? You don't need to pre-create a gratuitous ribbon, just put it straight on the pages you want it on. It doesn't need a page, because it doesn't have requirements. Is this intended as a proposal for a new achievement? -Robyn 16:06, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

Hmmm. I didn't mean it to be gratuitous, it's just that no one has done it/claimed it yet. I'll change the template to use template:ribbon, instead of template:gratuitous ribbon. -- Jevanyn 18:04, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
As it's a proposal for a new achievement, it should stay in the proposed achievements category and not get its own until it's been discussed at least a little bit. I think a swimming to the geohash achievement is a good idea, but it's not a complete achievement yet. For example, I think swimming with a life jacket on is weird, but being accompanied by someone in a spotter boat would be a good idea in many places. Swimming in a wetsuit is necessary to not die of hypothermia in cold climates, and should be allowed in warm ones, even though that also lends flotation.

Can I claim it for my WOW expeditions? (I think I can, but I don't think I should be able to.) --starbird 02:54, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
