I didn't say it would happen. Nice job on neatly missing the point
completely though.

If what he says below is true, then I shouldn't have even been able to
raise it from 100 to 120 until I got to lvl 20, which clearly isn't
the case.

I'll have to get to lvl 5 to confirm this, but if I get to 5, and my
skill can go to 125, then it looks like it's lvl capped to 100 + (lvl
* 5), which was my initial question. I thought swimming WASN'T lvl
capped, but it looks (at first glance) that it is.
