It could be done on a console if you had the patience of a saint.

using a new method of gulp skip, i can gain enough height to glide into other walls, while out of bounds. if you land at the exact spot, you will be clipped into that wall. by gliding around i made it to the bottom of the pool, where i hit the swim trigger from underneath, clipped into the wall at the same time. this allows you to be pushed slighly upwards upon charging into the trigger, allowing you to escape the pool, retaining the swim state. it took several hours of trying to land in the perfect spots in order to make it to the pool, and a TAS would be the only real way of seeing it done.
