Swamp rooms occur together: up to 5 rooms on a level may be swamps.
This room has been known to very rarely appear between Medusa's level and the Castle.

Strategy
You can easily guess the presence of hidden doors in swamps, because of the absence of water pools near the door. Very small swamp rooms can generate just one water pool, easily mistaken for a fountain, so be careful.
The sea monsters and risk of wetting your inventory make swamps unappealing to traverse. Additionally, unlike other special rooms, swamps don't have much interesting loot.
