How's the Water?

Is It Safe?

Open water swimming is an adventure, and inherently exposes us all to the dangers of the outdoor world. Swim sites listed at OWL have been used by other open water swimmers and we have reason to think you can find good, fun, and safe water there. But sometimes the conditions vary a little faster than the last report from the site, or in ways we can’t see with satellites, buoys, and the internet. In addition to checking OWL tides tables and wave reports, take a look for other swimming hazards at the site before the goggles go on: currents, riptides, underwater hazards, and overly enthusiastic marine life among them. Maybe even check in with the locals and bring a swim buoy. If you don’t want to swim near the lifeguards, bring your own in the form of a swim or kayak buddy.
