Open Water Spots is a community map of open-water swimming locations worldwide — seas, lakes and rivers — with live water conditions, GPS swim tracking, and the people you swim with. Know before you swim.
DISCOVER
• 29,000+ open-water spots mapped worldwide — beaches, lakes, rivers and lidos
• Live conditions per spot: water temperature, wind, waves and a clear daily rating
• Today Mode ranks spots near you by today's conditions — calmest, warmest, best for beginners
• Search any spot by name and jump straight to it
TRACK
• Record GPS swims with live distance, duration and pace (min/100m)
• Build streaks, hit annual distance goals, earn badges and climb the leaderboard
• Import your past swims from Strava
APPLE HEALTH
• Save the swims you record to Apple Health as open-water swimming workouts — distance, duration, active energy and your GPS route, all written with your permission.
• With an Apple Watch Ultra (or Series 10 and later), Open Water Spots can read the water temperature your watch recorded during a swim, to log an accurate water temp.
• Your health data stays on your device — we never store or transmit it. Manage access anytime in Settings › Privacy & Security › Health.
COMMUNITY
• Add spots, post conditions reports, write reviews and flag hazards
• Follow other swimmers, like and comment on swims
• Organise and join meetups, races and open-water clubs
SAFETY-MINDED, NOT A SAFETY SERVICE
Open Water Spots gives you information to make your own decisions — it does not call for help on your behalf. Always check local conditions and swim within your limits.
FREE — AND PRO IF YOU WANT MORE
The free tier is the real product: discovery, conditions, adding spots, reviews, and up to 10 swim logs a year. Pro unlocks unlimited logs, the full 5-day forecast, offline spot access, annual goals + advanced stats, and meetup organising.
