Is there a minimum distance I have to swim before I can say I went for a swim?
Usain Bolt does 100m and I bet he says he went for a run.
The olympics has a 50M freestyle event so I will declare that the minimum distance required. In that case, I can say I went for a swim at Port Stoth Beach. It is the most northerly beach in the Western Isles.
And the day I visited it was also the beach the beach with most Jellyfish! There was hundreds of them. I don’t know much about jellyfish other than what Andrew wrote here https://twinbikerun.com/2016/12/01/the-one-with-jellyfish-in-it/
But I do know not to mess with things I don’t know about so as soon as I spotted them I turned around and I swam back to the beach.
REVIEW
Ease of Access:
Ness is 45 minutes from Stornoway. There is a parking spot beside the beach. It is a 2 minute walk from there to the sea.
Water quality:
The water quality is crustal clear and perfect for swimming (if there was no jelly fish)
Swim Quality:
Hard to tell. I didn’t swim for long enough.
Other People:
Not a soul
Would I go back: Yes. I’d like to try swimming further than 50m
