outdoor swimming
Laps under sky
Outdoor swimming is swimming in natural bodies of water—lakes, rivers, oceans, ponds—or in unheated outdoor pools, as opposed to indoor heated facilities.
The term often carries connotations of adventure or hardiness: She's taken up outdoor swimming year-round.
In British English, wild swimming covers similar territory with emphasis on remote or scenic locations.
