Okay, when did "wading" and "swimming" come ot mean the same thing?

Richard, the word 'wade' comes from the Greek word 'wha?', which roughly translates to 'I don't give a hoot -- I'm a Texas lawman and what I say goes'. (Of course, I'm only guessing since I have only memorized the OED through the letter V.)
