My impressions from this comic are that I would hate the creator if I ever met them.

I think the joke is a typical take on ADHDers having "eyes bigger than their stomachs" for large tasks. Swimming in a lake is very fun, and can help one feel connected to nature. Swimming across a lake is a huge task, possibly requiring training, could take a long time, and is dangerous.

Why they decided to sit on the beach instead of swimming at all, I have no idea. Maybe it's a "lakes are deep and scary because lake monsters" thing?

I'm not sure this is an ADHD nod, just poking fun at the irony of conflicting urges.

I've definitely felt this kinda weird urge, although once I get started and get the "fuck" and "no" urges I'm usually too invested and stubborn and stupid to actually stop.

This is far from the first Devil's Panties comic posted here and many of the others mention her ADHD. You're missing the deep lore.
