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.
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.
