Kind of. As a kid my old man did a lot of salmon fishing, I used to hang out down near river mouths and lagoons and generally muck around. Many times I would cross dodgy mud (I mostly remember it down near the mouth of the rangitata), but it's not swimming, more crawling on your belly. This first thing you need to do is take the weight of your legs and spread it across your body. You had to get down quick before your legs were too deep.
