Travelling and participating in swimming activities can be a fantastic way to combine adventure and relaxation. Here is a breakdown of what that can entail, along with some tips and popular destinations.
Types of Swimming Activities While Travelling
- Recreational Swimming: This is the most common form, where you simply enjoy a swim in a pool, lake, river or ocean. It is about relaxing, cooling off, and having fun.
- Open Water Swimming: This involves swimming in natural bodies of water like oceans, lakes and rivers. It can range from a casual dip to long-distance endurance swims. Many destinations offer organised open water events and races to enthusiasts.
- Snorkelling and Scuba Diving: While not strictly "swimming" in the traditional sense, these activities are heavily tied to being in the water. They offer a unique way to explore marine life and underwater landscapes.
- Surfing and Other Water Sports: Many destinations with great swimming spots also offer opportunities for surfing, paddleboarding, kayaking, and other water sports.
Popular Destinations for Swimming Focused Travel
For Open Water Swimming
- The Greek Islands: The Aegean and Ionian seas offer crystal clear, calm waters perfect for long swims.
- Croatia: The Adriatic Sea is known for its stunning coastline and numerous islands, providing countless opportunities for island hopping swims.
- The Canary Islands: Excellent year-round swimming conditions in the Atlantic Ocean.
Snorkelling and Scuba Diving
- The Great Barrier Reef, Australia: The world's largest coral reef system, offering unparalleled marine biodiversity.
- The Maldives: Known for its stunning resorts, incredible coral reefs, and an abundance of marine life, including manta rays and whale sharks.

- Thailand: From the bustling beaches of Phuket to the tranquil bays of Koh Phi Phi, Thailand has a diverse range of swimming spots.
Tips for Travelling with a Focus on Swimming
- Check Water Conditions: Before you go, research the water temperature, current, and potential hazards like jellyfish or strong tides. Websites like Surfline or local tourist boards can be great resources.
Pack the Right Gear:
- Swimsuits: Pack at least two so you can always have a dry one.
- Goggles: Essential for both pool and open water swimming.
- Wetsuit: If you are swimming in cooler water.
- Sun Protection: Sunscreen (preferably reef safe), a hat and a rash guard are crucial.
- Swim Buoy: If you are doing open water swimming, a brightly coloured swim buoy makes you more visible to boats and other water users.
Stay Safe:
- Never Swim Alone: This is especially important for open water swimming.
- Respect Local Rules: Pay attention to flags on beaches and signs around pools.
- Know Your Limits: Don't push yourself beyond your comfort level, especially in unfamiliar waters.
