Does Salty Swimming work worldwide?
Whilst the maps that are built into Salty Swimming have worldwide coverage, the tidal data is currently only available for the British Isles and Ireland.
Why swim in a tidal pool rather than the open sea?
Tidal pools are typically more accessible and safer than venturing into the open ocean. They provide an opportunity for people of all ages and swimming abilities to enjoy the water. Tidal pools often have shallow areas, calm waters, and natural barriers that protect against strong currents and waves, making them ideal for swimming, wading, and exploring.

What did people do before Salty Swimming?
Prior to Salty Swimming, swimmers had to rely on laborious methods such as scouring various surf forecasts or seeking information from local social media groups to ascertain suitable coastal swimming conditions.
