Hi all,
I head out to Plane of Tranquility, huge Sea Area with no agro.
Not that you need a huge area since I use the "Swim in Circles" trick, but it's easy on the eyes than the PoK Fishing Pool and less likelyhood of being disturbed.
Trick 1
1) Get yourself a piece of Compartmented Trio Jewellery, may as well get a level suitable item as Gemmed up they are pretty good stats wise.
2) From a FIRE OPAL cut yourself a OVAL CUT FIRE OPAL will give you EFFECT: Enduring Breath (Worn)

Trick 2
In Windowed Mode, Hold down 2 arrow keys UP + RIGHT, keep then held down while you ALSO press ALT+TAB
This will switch you to another window, ALT-TAB back to EQ and you will be swimming in Circles.
The Cap is way up now from 200, my Level 50 ALT is now max skill 250 at Lvl 90 it's 400.
Also need to add it is very slow to skill-up, how SOE ever expect you to get it up simply by playing is beyond me.
In 6 hours my lvl 51 ALT has gone from just 216 to 234 / 255. It's a few days left swimming overnight and if SOE wanna be so petty as to ban me (you) fine, feeling like its time to move on anyway. As I believe the EULA states / is interpreted you cannot play AFK.
Not sure which Stat effects Swimming Skill-ups, presume it is Int / Wiz.
The big change now is that Swimming Skill is now needed for ACHIEVMENTS > GENERAL > SKILL > UTILITY PROFICIENCY
The Level 50 Proficiency needs a skill of 250/250
