Best forConfident swimmers
Swim in open blue water, miles from shore, with nothing above you but sky.
Ocean Swim & Drift takes you far enough offshore that the coast disappears. We anchor in open water and you swim — not in a pool, not in a harbour, but in the deep blue of the Indian Ocean. The experience is profound in its simplicity. A safety kayak is always in the water. The crew is with you throughout.
