How to unlock the Danger Swimmer achievement in Sea of Solitude - Definitive Guide

EDIT 10-12-2020
At this point I'm honestly not 100% sure whether this is cumulative or not, but it certainly does look like it is. As this is still the top solution for this achievement I figured I'd compile some tips mentioned by other users on how to get this. Original solution remains listed at the bottom.

Credits for each tip listed below goes to whoever posted it

jojoborne:
It is the cumulative distance travelled when the monster is after you. I tried swimming right into the buildings on Chapter 6 and it didn’t pop, but I swam back to the open water until the monster returned and then between the buildings again and then a third time and it popped.

Opticon12000:
Load up the checkpoint 'Dangerous waters'. Turn around and swim in a circle in the space between the buildings. She will chase you but cant catch you as its enclosed so just keep swimming till it unlocks.
FYI the achievement tracker does track this cumulatively even though its listed as a secret achievement.

Catatonic Nali:
Load up the section of Chapter 2 called Follow The Monster and make a beeline for the enclosed courtyard area where you have to open a gate to let your boat through. Your flare should lead you straight there. If you open the gate, lure the monster over to it then retreat back inside the courtyard the monster should start bashing itself up against the opening but can't reach you. Now swimming around in circles near the gate and the monster should count as progress towards the achievement with the added benefit of being completely safe.
Doing this got me from 70% to 100% in just a couple of minutes.

Original solution:
This seems to be based on the distance between Kay and the Whale when you're in the water.
I loaded the ''Dangerous Ocean'' section of Chapter 3, held cn_X and noticed the Whale was far away. I jumped in the water and swam directly right from spawn, into the passage between the buildings and the achievement popped

From the description and similar achievements in this game I would’ve thought it was simply a cumulative distance of swimming whilst the “whale” was hunting you, rather than achieving a certain gap between you.

Popped instantly. Is this an issue with the achievements itself, or just the description? Who cares!

The only reason it popped first time for Flaevo is coincidence because they just so happened to reach the cumulative amount when they swam to the alley the first time.

Was only at 79% and followed Flaevo's guide of loading up 'Dangerous Ocean' after beating the game and it popped as soon as I jumped in the water. Seems like an issue with the achievement itself?

If you haven't gotten it by the end of the game if you load chapter 3: Dangerous Waters there is a spot between 3 buildings right behind spawn where you cant get eaten but the monster is still after you. Just swim in circles till the achievement pops.

I got it at the beginning of chapter 6 , the whale can't get you while under the tower.

Chapter 2：Follow the Monster
climb the ladder，eagle shows up，go foward and look down，you will see a gateway block the water， jump to the left side of the gateway， the whale will keep hitting the gate on the other side
Happy swimming

This is confirmed to be a cumulative amount of distance swum while the monster is chasing you, similar to the other distance achievements.

After finishing the game I was still only at about 70% and I've found a spot that works really well to quickly grind out the rest.

Load up the section of Chapter 2 called Follow The Monster and make a beeline for the enclosed courtyard area where you have to open a gate to let your boat through. Your flare should lead you straight there. If you open the gate, lure the monster over to it then retreat back inside the courtyard the monster should start bashing itself up against the opening but can't reach you. Now swimming around in circles near the gate and the monster should count as progress towards the achievement with the added benefit of being completely safe.

This trophy can be a bit tough but luckily there’s a nice trick that makes things easy. In locations shrouded in darkness, there will always be a whale that you have to avoid when jumping or swimming across platforms. The distance counted for this trophy is only when the whale is close to you while you are swimming. You will know this when the whale starts to make a noise and the music gets louder.

The trick is to load up the "Follow the Monster" section in Chapter 2. You will start partway up a building. Climb all the way to the top and a short cutscene will play. If you look down, you will see a dam separating the town with the rest of the sea. Jump off to the left side. The whale will be trapped on the right side of the dam and won't be able to get to you. Swim around near the left side of the dam but keep a little bit away from the dam as sometimes the game can glitch and the whale will partially go through the dam and eat you.
