I've seen alot of comments about Akane's negative swimming ability.  It
comes from several things, like her cooking.  In one episode I remember

her

saying "You mean you're not supposed to breath in?", or something like

that.

Add in that she's about as strong as Ranma when she forgets herself,

without

most of the training.  I'd say both her bones and muscles are abnormaly
dense.

I would said "+3 to rage upon finding betrothed in compromising
position" coupled with "geas of misunderstandings" and "curse of
unfortunate timing".  Afterall, she seems to be stronger only when she is
emotionally affected somehow.

   Focus.  One aspect of chi is focus.  Basically when Ranma gets her mad
enough to lash out, she zones everything else out and is able to hit

I'd tend to say Ranma's are too, but not as much, and he has had
training to compensate.  Add in weird gravity tricks using ki, and Ranma

can

swim.

No...  Ranma has been known to be able to swim even before learning
control of his chi.  Besides, if we believe Genma's (and Ranma's) account
of their travels, they _swam_ from Japan to China.

    Chi is something intrinsic to all martial arts.  Well before learning to
fire emotion blasts, he not only was building strong reserves of Chi, he was
learning to use it to boost his strength, speed, endurance, etc.
