Sim will no longer get stuck in the ground and continue to Swim Laps if the pool is removed in the middle of it. Because physics. Now the Sim will reset. Because magic.
Fixed in Patch 1.107.112/1.92

One of these issues that seem to come and go.

I see the same thing happen every so often in my replica of S3LL's Natatorium, where the pool is on the third floor- so maybe it's pools built away from ground level in general?

I have this issue too, on the extra large lot in Brindleton... except my pool is on unedited terrain at normal ground level.

Please describe the patch or change you made. Since the big patch June 3.
Has happened at my sim’s owned store and my flatmate who has a PC and some different packs just told me she had the same issue. Instead of getting out of the pool her sim just swum to the location she was being told to go. At my store I’ve found sims treading water inside a staircase and lots of splashing texture on the ground. Will take a photo and update this when it happens again. [EDITED TO ADD: Managed to get a screenshot of the splashing way above the pool but haven't had swimming in terrain or flooring again yet to screenshot]

I was really confused to see a lady swimming along the beach in Sulani but I figured it was a glitch because she was in really shallow water. Then I found her just swimming down a path. no idea what is causing it.

Since installing Island Living I now have this problem too. I noticed it on a residential lot in Newcrest. The swimming is more skilled with the expansion compared to the base game, but it is certainly very rough and almost painful to watch. Turns are sharp and they swim very fast, in addition to them swimming outside the pool.
