Ocean Swimming, Lan ha Bay, Vietnam.  

Kate Wardner shares this report on her Ocean Swimming holiday at ‘Lan ha Bay, Vietnam. “We are doing around 2.5kms per swim so far it appears. The visibility is poor due to the limestone karsts (the pointy rock islands) that dissolve in to the water, but the views about water level are amazing as you can see!!

The water is around 25-27 – not too hot but occasionally you think a cold patch would be nice! It’s also incredibly salty which is nice after a season in a wetsuit!!

We are in 3 teams and refreshingly I am one of the fastest in the middle group. There are 4 in the top group that swim like everyone else in the 6.45 am Mollymook group!! But at least I know I’m not super slow now – just normal. I’m back on Monday!!”
