I'm not a fan. If your character doesn't know how to swim at level 1 and never bothered to learn then he shouldn't know how to swim EVER. That's regardless of the level approrpriate DC for his current level. He just sucks at that and that's ok. I don't like that everyone has to be good at everything just because they're high level.
If you look at the tables at 20th level everyone should be able to succeed at every ordinary task listed there at high dificulty without much problems.

Launch a new one to make them a bit better. They suck now.

I too understand the move, but it also brings up questions as to why its human based and not elf or orc based. In past editions and other game settings, they are almost always their own unique race with their own lore and qualities.

It's Jarring

And all the abilities of the human is... nothing. They get nothing. Other races at least get darkvision.
