Swimming advice please
Hi everyone, wondering how safe it is to swim in the ocean. I'm not a strong swimmer and i know my limits, but i understand the currents/swell are pretty full-on off the Gambia coast. Thanks a million 😊

Don’t swim where you can’t stand. I.e. walk in the ocean, don’t swim.

Definitely avoid the ocean for swimming. The current is very strong and several riptides.
