Swimming speeds reduced when wearing armor. Heavy armor reduces speed more than light. Skinny dipping results in faster swimming. Great for roleplaying.

Version 0.1
First release
SUMMARY: This mod gives the player speed penalties for wearing clothing/armor when swimming. Heavy armor reduces swim speed more than light armor.
Swim naked - it's fastest. Excellent for roleplaying.
I thought the default swim speeds were way too fast compared to real life.
I called it Better Swimming instead of realistic swimming, because it's not perfect.
Speed breakdown:
Wearing anything: -10% Heavy armor: -40% (any item) Light armor: -25% (any item) (doesn't stack with heavy armor)
Additionally, your inventory weight compared to your carry weight will influence your swim speed as well, up to 40% slower (30% for Argonians) at max capacity.
Wearing heavy armor fully loaded = -80% swim speed
Argonians (and anyone with the active waterbreathing effect) bypass the armor slow downs, so the slowest you could be while waterbreathing is -40% (-30% for Argonians).
If you drop all your stuff by the shore (or in the water) and go skinny dipping, you suffer no penalties.
Feedback wanted.
