ocean swimming
Swimming in waves
Ocean swimming is swimming in the sea rather than a pool, lake, or river.
It involves contending with waves, currents, salt water, and marine life.
The term often appears in fitness and recreational contexts: She took up ocean swimming after years in the pool.
Open water swimming is a near synonym, though that term includes lakes and rivers.
