In adventurer mode i have been working with a character training my swimming skill, currently im a skilled swimmer and now i cant use alt+direction to get out it has happened before after a certain level of skill, dying from alligators.
I tried the wiki and now im confused, any controls tips?
P.S. im stuck in a river.

Edit: just got out, is it due to ripples?

Are you trying to climb out against a cliff face? rivers tend to erode leaving walls on either side of them so you may have to swim for a bank, in the top right corner it shows what's above/below you

Were you hostile with any of the civs?

what does climbing out of a river have to do with some people disliking you?

My mistake, I forgot to ask exactly how you got out.  The only way my previous question would make any sense is if you got out of the river using "T"ravel mode.

i dont believe you can fast travel while in the water.

Think you can under the condition it's somewhere you can retire like a river going through a friendly town

no.  just tested it.  "you cannot fast travel because you are swimming"

The reason I asked my, in hindsight, rather stupid question, was because in one of my playthroughs, I tried slaughtering a town, which had a river running through it.  I figured that the river would make a neat escape route, only to find that I couldn't get out or fast travel, BECAUSE I WAS IN HOSTILE TERRITORY.  That's why I asked my question.  Luckily, it was a river, not a pool, and the river eventually left the outskirts of the town, and fast traveled out.

seems like the "hostile territory" message takes precedence over the swimming one.  i wonder where the combat message ("you do not feel safe enough to travel") would fit...

There needs to be a space up and in the direction you are leaving the water for you to occupy. You cannot occupy a solid block or a tree or something.

I think it was the white moving ripples or something else because i could move in any direction but ALT-Direction did not work until i could hardly see the ripples on my screen.

EDIT:ALT-DIRECTION would work in the river but attempting to get on to land wouldnt work, probably ripples.

you sure the bank was on the next z up and not 2?  nothing on the edge like a tree that could block you?  occasionally you wont be able to swim in certain directions UNLESS alt+moving, that, i think, is caused by "ripples"... but i dont think that should interfere with getting out.
