Also known as a [[Sea lion]], [[druid]]s obtain this form from any trainer at level 16. (There used to be a quest line to obtain it, while it can still be completed, it is not mandatory.) One can only use the '''Aquatic Form''' while swimming, but can travel normal running speed in water and will not run out of [[breath]] (water breathing). Take note that this 50% increase is ''of the 66.6% base swim speed'', hence giving a 33.3% bonus. Thus, the net effect of this form is to allow you to move at 100% normal running speed in water.

The downside of this form is that it has no defensive capabilities whatsoever, meaning that in a combat situation it's only really useful for escape. Outside of combat however, it has a large number of potential uses. The speed bonus means that it can serve as a fast form of travel if a given destination can be reached via water, and the greater presence of rivers in Alliance territory means it also gives Horde druids venturing into that area with numerous opportunities for concealment, reconnaissance, and rapid escape as mentioned above. The form can also be exceptionally useful for druids with the Herbalism tradeskill, as it allows more rapid harvesting of the herb Stranglekelp, which is valuable on many servers.

== Notes ==
 
* To gain the Aquatic Form skill you once had to travel to [[Thunder Bluff]] or [[Darnassus]] where you can begin a {{questchain|Aquatic Form|series of quests}} starting with the quest [[Druid Quests#Level 16: A Lesson to Learn|A Lesson to Learn]]. You then continue your journey by travelling to [[Moonglade]] to get further in the quest chain. Once you had completed the quests you needed to speak to the [[Druid]] [[Trainer]] that initially sent you on the quest in order to learn the Aquatic Form spell.
 
* While in Aquatic Form, you cannot cast spells or talk to NPCs. You are also considered a [[Beast]] so spells that target Beasts can be used on you ([[Hibernate]] for instance).
 
* Your caster form will start regaining mana 5 seconds after you change to Aquatic Form.
 
* As is usual when swimming, the druid cannot drink or eat in this form.

== Tips and tactics ==
 
* Use this whenever you go into the water. It is a useful technique for escaping PvP opponents, as few can equal the Sea lion's swim speed and few can hold their breath long enough to catch you. However, without [[Glyph of Aquatic Form]] you are still slower than a hunter's pet underwater.
 
*Be slightly wary of Warlocks underwater. They can breathe with a buff and their skills aren't restricted like the Aquatic form Druid's are.
