I’m on the swim team, and swimming is just something I enjoy. Hopefully when I travel around a bit more I can try to achieve this.



Done it. 23 months ago

I’ve swum in all the oceans. Except possibly the Arctic Ocean if it is indeed an ocean.

By ‘swum’ I mean to have swum out to a depth such that if I put my hands above my head and fully immerse them, my feet don’t hit the bottom.

Oceans:
  • Indian (Perth, my home town is on it)
  • Southern (not far from my home town)
  • Atlantic, North (from the UK)
  • Atlantic, South (from Brazil)
  • Pacific, South (from east coast Australia)
  • Pacific, North (Hawaii)
Great Seas Swum:
  • Mediteranian (Greece, Italy)
  • Carribian (Cuba)
Great Seas not swum:
  • Arctic Sea (some consider this an ocean, I’ve not swum this one)
  • South China Sea (I have paddled in Singapore however)
  • Bearing Sea (Brr! watch out for icebergs!)

There’s lots of other bodies of water listed as seas, I’ve chosen an arbitary lower limit of 2,000,000 km2 as being a ‘great sea’.

How many oceans are there, do gulfs count? sorry this is a really dumb entry but yeah.
