River Rat

You learned to swim right after you learned to walk. When you were a youth, a gang of river pirates put you to work swimming in nighttime rivers and canals with a dagger between your teeth so you could sever the anchor ropes of merchant vessels.

Benefit: You gain a +1 trait bonus on damage rolls with a dagger and a +1 trait bonus on Athletics checks while swimming. Athletics is always a class skill for you.
