SEA ADVENTURES<br />
WILD SEA SWIMMING<br />
For some, wild sea swimming<br />
is on their bucket list of things to<br />
do. The Victorian Bathing Pools at<br />
La Valette, in St Peter Port, offer a<br />
great location to try this out. With<br />
four separate pools: the Gents,<br />
the Horseshoe, the Ladies' and the<br />
children’s pools, swim with others<br />
or enjoy a pool to yourself. Just be<br />
sure to arrive when the tide is out!<br />
For those preferring a more<br />
natural environment, visit the<br />
Venus Pool in Sark – nature’s<br />
creation. The sea acts as a natural<br />
detergent, clearing and refilling<br />
the pool as the tide comes<br />
in, readying itself to welcome<br />
new visitors at low tide.<br />
For more information on open<br />
water swimming, head to the<br />
sports feature on page 124.<br />
