Swim One Mile in the Ocean

Add to My List Check Off

One Mile Open Ocean Swims are regular stand-alone events staged around the world and sometimes part of triathlons. Swimming a mile in the Ocean presents challenges beyond just the endurance required to complete a one mile swim, including swells, waves, wind, currents, rip tides and variable water temperature. The one thing that makes swimming in the ocean somewhat easier than in a pool is that the salt water helps create buoyancy but there are no lines or sides to help with the navigation. While swimming a mile in the ocean might seem like the equivalent of swimming a similar distance in a pool, most participants recommend being able to complete 2 miles in a pool before attempting the one mile ocean swim. Add the dream to Swim One Mile In Open Ocean to your list and start matching up your location goals to scheduled events or find an Ocean swimming event close to home. Checking this dream off your list will help you prepare for a triathlon or aid in your quest related to goals for better physical fitness and weight loss.
