Open Water Swimming is outdoor swimming in lakes, rivers, oceans etc. It can be undertaken with or without the use of a wetsuit. It is not advisable to swim alone in open water - it's better to go as a group.
It is becoming a very popular activity - both as a sport (open water swimming races, triathlons, aquathlons) and also as a leisure activity.
