Water genasi and waterbreathing

I ran into a bit of a fix with my water genasi today-- I walked into the river, thinking I could walk across the bottom, and discovered I didn't have enough stamina to get out and that my stamina was sapped by "swimming" faster than it returns even when sleeping. Unless the helpfile is no longer correct and water genasi aren't supposed to be able to breathe water, is there some way to fix this code-wise without too much hassle, maybe make it so characters that are sleeping in water don't lose stamina? This wouldn't be buggy, I believe, since you wake up when you take damage so non-water-breathers wouldn't be able to sleep in water.

In the meantime I'll see if I can't get somebody to shove me out of the water

Air genasi face a similar problem, not having to breathe at all. I've spent a couple of times sitting on riverbeds, too exhausted to move. Not fun.

I like her suggestion, that you should be able to sleep and regain stamina underwater. Otherwise, a lower-level or exhausted character's only recourse is to starve or get some sort of help. And at times, I lacked the stamina to even use the amulet.

Same with fire genasi. Hardly any fire resistances or abilities. Maybe genasi need to be relooked at again?

Nah, resistances need to be looked in first.

Oh, as for water breathing... They breathe water (otherwise, you'd be dead) but the code still makes them spend move points for swimming.
