Best Places to Swim: Mundaka

There comes a point when swimming in a pool just does not feel like it's enough, you begin to seek the thrill and adventure of swimming in open water.

There comes a point when swimming in a pool just does not feel like it's enough, you begin to seek the thrill and adventure of swimming in open water. Being alone out there can be, and sometimes is, scary; the fear of the unknown can be what has kept you from swimming in open water before, but this is about to change. At Orca we know the this feeling of pure freedom very well and we want to make open water swimming easy and accessible for everyone who wants to experience this unparalleled feeling. 

This is the reason behind Orca's latest project: Best Places to Swim, a platform where open water swimmers from around the world can share their favorite spots to swim, so you can explore new places guided by those who know them best. You can upload detailed information as well as the GPS route, so you can know all the necessary details about the new spots to explore and even download the route onto your GPS watch. Many professional athletes have already uploaded their routes, and the platform is quickly growing and already includes spots all over the world. Join the community and start exploring. Get ready to say goodbye to your fears and conquer the seven seas.

One of our “Best Places to Swim” is the Bermeo-Mundaka route, which will serve as the route for a race this upcoming weekend, 27th of June. The brave swimmers will leave from the beautiful town of Bermeo and finish their swim in Mundaka, a town internationally known for its unique wave. This surfer town is now also a necessary visit for open water swimmers, this bit of the Basque coast makes for a challenging but incredibly beautiful swim in the ocean.

How to measure yourself

For best results, take your measurements with no clothing on

Place the measuring tape over the widest part of your chest.

Hold one end of the measuring tape in place and circle your chest, keeping the tape straight, until the tape reaches your starting point.

Get a book, a hand mirror and a pencil.

Take off your shoes and anything you wear on your head.

Look for a level surface to stand on with a smooth wall behind you.

Stand in front of the wall with your feet together.

Balance the book on your head and press it against the wall. Use the mirror to check that it is in a horizontal position and well centered. Mark the position of the top of your head on the wall with pencil.

Once the mark is made, step away and use a measuring tape to measure the distance from the ground to the mark you just made with pencil.

Step on the scale, without clothes or accessories, and write down your weight.
