Though the latter sounds more appropriate.

But they can learn to swim, without magic, given the opportunity. A non-swimmer chucked into deep water may well figure out enough of the basics to survive. Most people (not all) can float naturally. The same does not apply to flight :(
It sounds more as if Praxian swim starts at 0 (or 1?), but they can buy the skill later, just as they could buy learning to read. If chucked into the river today, hope they roll a 1.
Flying, however, is stuck at 0, and as you say, augments will not improve changes of success. We neeed some better way of distinguishing between the two states, but the Rules list may be more appropriate.
