Salomon techamphibian!

enolarama and I both love by them. In fact, these are my everyday wear shows because they have a lot of ventilation.

They just look like normal outdoorsy shoes but have the secret water powers. Also, the heel part lays down so when you are lazy you can just slip into them like slides.

Here they are at REI.

Also, aqua socks (Island Magic!) might work for you if you don't need much support in your shoes. They do look kind of dorky though.

Related, I've tried on these crazy toe shoes. Very comfy, but I was not brave enough to plunk down $ for them since I like a lot of arch support.

Ahahah I was just about to post about those shoes but Dan beat me to it! I HEART my Salomons. A testament to their badassitude: backpacked through about 12 streams with them on in Costa Rica. However, they are a bit bulky for swimming, but I guess the point is, they wouldn't be ruined/come off if you had to swim in them. If you have to swim in shoes and have a choice, Dan and I are in agreement again: aqua socks rule!
