Gauntlets of swimming are a type of gloves that appear in SLASH'EM and SlashTHEM.
Generation
Upgrading leather gloves can produce gauntlets of swimming or gauntlets of dexterity.
Description
When worn, gauntlets of swimming provide 1 base AC and allow you to swim through water as though you had magical breathing - any rustable items in your inventory that are not erosion-proofed will be gradually rusted while you swim.
Strategy
While you may prefer to wear other types of gloves (such as gauntlets of power) in the early or mid game, gauntlets of swimming may be an attractive option (especially later in the game) because they allow you to survive the create pool monster spell. If you elect to go swimming, be sure to proof applicable armor and weapons, and keep an oilskin sack around for other rustable valuables that you cannot proof.
