So the only people that said they where swimming was JM and Neurotic so they would be at a maximum 15-20ft from free rest of the group putting them at most 20 ft from the shore. the swarms are both 40ft from the bulk of the party.As for casting I have thought about this and would conclude that you can make somatic component of a spell one handed as you can cast with only one free hand. I'm at work away from my books so unless someone knows of a ruling stating otherwise casting while staying afloat seems possible at least in calm water as you can use your free hand and legs to stay afloat this leads onto verbal components that unless you are dragged under you should also be fine. As for the spell thunder wave it's thunder damage not lightning so no issue with conduction but I would rule that the water is a unsecured object and would be pushed back by the spell by given the nature of water would fill the void again as soon as the effect ended. Putting it into more practical terms anyone in the area of the spell would automatically be pushed back 15ft and the caster would likely end up underwater at the end of casting the spell and be able to use their movement to swim back to the surface.Any debate/questions[/gm]</blockquote>
