Mexico’s Yucatán peninsula is riddled with cenotes, natural limestone sinkholes that are perfect for wild swimming. Our pick of the bunch is Cenote X’keken, a huge vaulted cave with an icy but irresistible turquoise pool in its centre.

Easily reached with a little scrambling, this stunning spot on Dorset’s Jurassic Coast is more popular with climbers and swimmers than twinkle-toed dancers. The ammonite-encrusted ledge is home to a man-made pool that fills naturally with sea water at high tide – just deep enough to breaststroke in, but also shallow enough that the sun warms it to a bearable temperature.

The Gippsland Lakes are Australia's largest system of inland waterways, separated from the sea by the sugar-sand strand of Ninety Mile Beach.

Make sure to reward yourself with a lobster lunch in nearby Komiža afterwards.

Swimming the Coryvreckan is not a challenge to be taken lightly or without local advice – in fact George Orwell nearly died here crossing from Scarba to Jura in a boat. Created by a rocky pinnacle below the surface of the sea, the whirlpool varies in strength depending on the tide and winds, and it’s possible to swim right across when it’s at its weakest.
