Swimming in the sea

Hi, Good morning everybody. I found the website campgear.com provides osprey backpacks and I want to shop some backpacks from here. But I am a little bit confused about the quality and origin of their backpacks. Has anyone have used their backpacks before? Please tell me about their products' quality or give me some other ideas.

    Is there a reason for you to want to swim in the ocean? I mean, if it is for some type of competition, then we need to know since there are rules to have to follow. If it is just for fun and you've never done it, then read up on the safety aspects of ocean swim first (i.e. rip currents, large waves that can smash you into rocks, even shorebreaks can break your neck on just sand, and of course, jaws :) I'm usually doing something else when I swim in the ocean: see underwater stuff (snorkeling/scuba diving), bodysurf, visit offshore islands, spear fishing. Not much fun just swimming distance. Sea water is always saltier than I though each time I take a gulp of it, so I don't like to swim in the ocean as I do in a swimming pool or lake. Where are you planning to swim ?
