Code:

turf/RPGMAKER/Water
    icon='RPGMAKERTURFS/Beach.dmi'
    icon_state="water"
    var
        DeepWater=0
    Enter(mob/M)
        if(ismob(M))
            if(!src.DeepWater)
                if(M.Diving)
                    M.Diving=0
                    M.layer=4
            return 1
        else return 1
    Entered(mob/M)
        if(ismob(M))
            //M.underlays=null
            if(src.DeepWater)
                if(!M.Diving)
                    M.icon_state="swimming";world<<"[M.icon_state]"
                    M.energy-=rand(10,50)
                if(src.icon_state=="Deep Water")
                    M.energy-=rand(100,250)
                if(M.energy<=0)
                    M.layer=src.layer-1
                    M.icon_state=""
                    M.Diving=1
                    if(M.client)
                        M.client.screen+=new/obj/HUD/Air
                    if(!M.Diving)
                        M<<"You fall into the Water."
                        return
    Exited(mob/M)
        if(ismob(M))
            if(M.icon_state=="swimming")
                M.icon_state=""
        else return 1

If there is no icon_state in the icon file named "swimming", it will default to the first icon_state in the file. Likely, there is no icon_state named "swimming" in the file. Make sure that capitalization is correct, and that the icon_state in the file EXACTLY matched the string "swimming".

If you still haven't found an error, try running this:

mob
    verb
        check_icon_state()
            var/list/l = icon_states(src.icon)
            if("swimming" in l)
                usr << "found icon state: swimming"
            else
                usr << "unable to find swimming state"

Marcus55	I tried what Ter said first. The icon_state was found, but it still doesn't change via entering the water. I then tried what Tarun said, no luck either. Update: I think I fixed it. I think my movement coding was interfering with the water coding, so I had to change a bit of both.
