Can Companions be given the ability to swim?

It is a minor annoyance having your Companion disappear whenever you enter a body of water. I figure this must be some limitation of the pathfinding system that NPCs use, but maybe Companions can just swim in the direction of the player regardless of what obstacles may be in their way? Their combat ability would have to be disabled while they're in water, naturally.

I managed to capture a screenshot of Sharp-as-Night standing on a platform that is submerged in water. At this depth, a character would normally be doing swimming animations.

Now that we have mount swimming support in U47, can the same be given to Companions? @ZOS_Kevin

Please give us Werewolf Skill Styles (for customizing our fur color), Grimoires/Scribing skills (to fill in the holes in our builds), and Companions (to transform with).

    When I first heard of swimming mounts, I thought of companions as well.

    What I was wondering is what takes precedence? them being afraid of water, or being on a double mount? IE, if I am riding a mount that allows my companion to ride behind me, and I enter water, is my companion going to disappear as well?

    I always hear my Pets splashing about behind me while swimming. I never noticed the companions were not swimming with them.
    Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

    Pets swim?

    I thought everything disappeared in water deep enough to need to swim.

    in shallow water you can see your pets walk underwater

    Its a bit amusing that Sharp can not swim but neither can crocodiles in ESO, use ranged on them on the other side of an river
    Grinding just make you go in circles.
    Asking ZoS for nerfs is as stupid as asking for close air support from the death star.
