ocean swim

Waves, not lanes

An ocean swim is swimming in the sea rather than a pool or lake, typically for exercise or recreation.

The phrase often refers to organized open-water events: She signed up for a charity ocean swim.

It can also describe casual activity: We went for an ocean swim before breakfast.

Ocean swimming involves waves, currents, and marine life that pool swimming doesn't.
