Learn how to swim at Palace Of The Fates!
There are two ways of getting swimming in this part of the game:
1. One is at the "Siren Sacrifice" (Which is absolute hell to get!) Mainly due to very complicated manouvering around under floors with infinite jump trying to hit a specific trigger (without seeing Kratos).
2. And this way, at the Ice room. Once you leave the Ice room and get up to before the Cerebus "battle trigger"...the area under the water in the Ice Room "unloads". That means all you have to do is go over the wall near the Cerebus battle, and youll fall straight to the Ice Room (thus skipping a trigger that would otherwise reload the area under the water). So with that done, you just jump in the water, and you have instant swimmingness. (But dont leave back through the water hole!)

So basically,
1.you do the grapple
2.then do the Infinite Jump till you reach the roof.
3.Use the Icarus Wings.
4.Swim in the little pond.
5.Your now able to swim in mid-air.
Am i correct?

@GodofWarFan369 Pretty much yeah. But a few important tips:
(a) After you do the grapple and reach the upper area, don't go too far forwards towards the Cerebus Breeder arena. Or else you will "unload" the Ice Room, and you'll then find that it won't be there after you jump over the wall.
(b) Do this swimming glitch AFTER you kill the 2nd translator and open the skull door. Otherwise you won't be able to explore the whole palace with the swimming glitch.

Very good call with the Ice Room swimmingness.

If you try this swimming glitch, its best to do it after you kill the translator (so you can then access later parts of the palace).
But once you do kill the translator and return, its important to return to where the grapple is first, otherwise the Ice room wont be loaded once you clear that massive wall. (If you havent already tried it.)
