Seas & Oceans swims

The variety of sea and ocean swims around the world means there is a near endless supply of adventure! From the warm waters of the Mediterranean to the chilly waters of the North channel, the intriguing tides around the beautiful island of Jersey and not to forget the blue ribbon event of the English channel or the iconic Catalina channel. With 71% of our planet covered by seas and ocean we have spoken to people who are passionate about their particular sea or ocean swim from different perspectives and they explain why it is so special and what it takes to conquer the challenges these waters bring.

Check out the MYSWIM specific artwork that captures the essence of the swims.
