Effect You inflate large pouches that allow you to float. You gain a swim Speed equal to half your land Speed. You can swim only along the surface of the water while this is active. You can stow the flotation devices as a 1-minute exploration activity. If the pouches take any damage (AC 10, Hardness 0), they quickly deflate, ending the effect.
