Should those characters get advantage in those circumstances? Or should they get double proficiency on athletics rolls related to that particular movement? Does anyone on this forum have experience using one or the other (or neither) thing?

Hard conditions making it diffucult to swim or climb at the point of requiring a check will require any creature to do so.
