Swimming on STJ

Planning a trip soon and I am looking to do some swimming - not just snorkeling. Just goggles, no fins.
I do get a bit freaked out in the open water so I was wondering if anyone knows of a group that might head out and swim together. If not, I guess I'll just have to suffer with a rum drink on shore......

Tracy, if your the least bit timid go to Maho. Flat and shallow.

There is a very small group of locals that do a Sunday morning swim and they have said that anyone is welcome to join them. I saw this one of the other sites. If I can find it, I will let you know. Maybe someone else on here knows more about it.

This may be what you have in mind

The husband and wife who were our "landlords" on our last visit go for a swim at Francis every morning at 7:00.

I was also going to suggest Francis. I found it great for swimming. Don't think I could make it for a 7am dip though.

Hi Tracy, My wife always swims at Trunk Bay close to the beach and the life guard keeps an eye on her.

Thanks everyone - Those are good tips and even if I do swim, it sounds like I can also do the rum drink from the beach thing! I appreciate all the help!
