Traveling by raft, barge, or even large aquatic beast, the halflings of the bays, rivers, and lakes are by far the most nomadic families of halflings. These halflings are known for their swimming ability, and for their skill upon any manner of aquatic vessel, performing rigging, navigating, or fishing tasks with ease. The riverfolk in many worlds are guides, traders, and hunters that move up and down their ancestral waterways, enjoying a slow-flowing life. In other worlds, they are known for their sharp distrust of outsiders and lack of wanderlust, features that are truly exceptional among most halflings, and they live as an insular community. And there are worlds where they are known as ocean halflings, carrying out long voyages from island to island on communal boats across a vast and seemingly endless ocean.

As a river halfling, you were born on the waters, and you grew up surrounded by the working knowledge of the boat and river you lived on. You've also practiced both swimming and holding your breath so long that they've become second nature to you.
