Swimming in the Caspian Sea

Unless you have been to other Islamic countries, you may be surprised to see the beach culture in Iran. However, like most things there is a hidden side to what you first see.

be informed that most Iranians use the Caspian beaches for picnicking.

Women swim with their clothes on. There are segregated beaches for men and women alike but they are not that popular. These beaches that are segregated are done so by curtains.

Those that have a boat go deep and swim freely.

Others use private and or isolated beaches although these are very far and few in between.

There are no restrictions for men. Men swim with their swimming trunks or shorts and that is it.

Water skiing is popular in the Caspian sea so is jet ski.

If you were wondering whether it was at all worth going for a swim you should not think twice. The waters of the Caspian are among the best swims in the world. There are no strong currents if the sea is calm, the water temperature is pleasantly warm in the summer and its low salinity means your skin feels the softness.

I have a rowing boat which we may take into the water and go for a nice swim.

The swimming season is between late May until October.
