Swimming and Destiny

[dreaming-k.livejournal.com]

So, today I realized that while the expedition practically sits in the middle of an ocean (it's *Atlantis*!) there are no fics about swimming in it for recreation. Or I can't remember them is more like it, 'cause my memory just sucks like that.

Do you know any fics where John, Rodney or someone else takes a dip into the Atlantean ocean? Swimming, frolicking, waterfights? Teamfic is very welcome.

Seeing as I am posting already, I have a second request - which might be a bit strange. I'm in a soft mood today, so could you rec me McShep fics that deal with or touch upon destiny? You know, the guys meant for each other, forever?
