(TKW 35):  The negative associations with water might also be seen when Worf remarked to Counselor Deanna Troi, "Swimming is too much like bathing." 

(KGT 91):  The verb {HaH} [...] is now often used in the more general sense of soak, drench. It is frequently heard in the reflexive form ({HaH'egh} "soak oneself") in reference to such activities as drinking a great deal, which has positive connotations, and bathing, an occasional undertaking with negative connotations.

    Is it safe to swim here? (TNK) 
(qe'San [date?]):   One of the brand new Klingon words is the one for swimming as in the phrase "Is it safe to swim here?"  Klingons don't like water as, for them, it's a sign of weakness; they also love danger.  So this one may come as a surprise to them!" says Marc.
