I agree with you, she couldn't swim in a world made almost entirely out of water? Dumb. You might say it would be an important skill to acquire, a priority if you will. Before anyone goes on about dry land, why was she living on the floating money pit in the middle of the sea? Answer because she wasn't on dry land anymore.

no matter what world you live in, you can't stay in water forever. you are gonna have to do most of your essential living activities on land (or boat). if there's no land you die anyway. if there is land, then swimming becomes a mere contingency plan, not something you can't live without. you can't live without food. you can't live without drinking water. you can't live if you can't retain your body temperature. you can't live if you can neither outrun nor fend off your predators. those are the things that require immediate attention, not swimming skills.

umm actullay no she is from dry land why do you think she has the map on her back. She was born on dry land and persumeably lived there with her parents for awhile. If you pay attention in the end it mentions this. Please pay attention to movies before you post the wrong idea thank you

TtankerT has a point books are everywhere and some adults can't read. Cars are everywhere and some adults don't know how to drive. There are basketball courts everywhere but I sure as hell can't play basketball.

All I can do is doggy paddle my parents never took me for swimming lessons. I grew up on Long Island, NY. With pleanty of beaches almost drowned a few times at the beach. Plus it was obvious in the film she was brought up on dry land with her tattoo of a map to dry land. Kind of the main point of the film.. which I guess you missed and is why everyone wants her. Also most people in this movie chill out on boats the ones who go diving under water in search of teasures of sorts, I doubt are like 8-10 years old

It's supposed to be at least Mount Everest. You can see this in the movie (maybe just the extended cut?) when the Mariner is leaving DryLand and the woman and the girl run onto the top of the island to watch him drift away. There's a little plaque at their feet that says Mount Everest or something.
