I know you can kayak between saltwater and Redondo but can you swim between the two as I need to work on being fit because I have asthma and swimming is the only thing that for some reason doesn't affect it.

While the distance isn't outrageous (1.5 miles or so), currents at Saltwater can be quite strong. This time of year there are a significant amount of boaters on the water too.

Just a few of the hazards to think about, YMMV, etc.

Thank you

I would find a pool to work up to that first (not sure how often/distances you swim), I can say first hand I have thought I could swim a distance that looked reasonable only to need to flag down a boater and ask them to take me ashore... Quite embarrasing. I've had to do that once and another time I made it to the opposite side of a lake only to realize there was no way I had the energy to swim back haha. Had to hitchhike back around the lake. Also embarrasing. Live and learn I guess!

I have found that bringing a 2 person raft into the picture a very useful safety tool. I used to swim lakes in Washington and would tie the raft to my belt loop.

Amazing! And I thought I was a bad ass for swimming all over Sund Rock Friday and this dude goes 19 miles in a banana hammock. Way cool!

Whatever banana might have been in there is more like a raisin now :p
