Does anyone have input on swimming at Seven Mile beach on Grand Cayman? Next week staying at the Westin. Just want a safe solo route close to and parallel to shore. Thanks. Z.
You will probably be able to enter the water by your hotel and just swim as much as you want. The water is clear and clean-they used to have some open water events but I haven't heard about any lately. I did a 3 mile swim there in 1995. don't remember waves or currents being a problem.

Cathym,
Thanks for the response. It looks like the perfect place to train and work on the open water stroke. Z.

Thanks for the info on the Flowers swim. I did go to the website. Looks like the race finishes at the Westin this year. Z.

They have 2 OWS off Seven Mile Beach. First is Flowers Sea Swim which happens in June. I believe they start at the Ritz/Westin and swim down to the Comfort Suites. They have a great website. You could try that route. The second is a 5K swim during Pirate Week in November. I am not sure of the route here.
Agreed on the beaches. The water is clear and BEAUTIFUL.
If things work out, I may head down for the Flowers swim. It is usually Fathers' Day Weekend, so not during peak tourist times.
Oh and a quick travel tip. Rent a car!
