Lagos To Swim, or Not To Swim?
Posted: Wed March 7, 2007 02:51 AM UTC
Heading to Lagos in 2 weeks. Spending a few days around Paia Dona Ana. I was wondering what the water temperature would be (approx.) and if swimming is possible, or crazy?

Also, want to head east into Cordoba or Sevilla, Spain. Are there trains or buses heading from Lagos to Cordoba / Sevilla?

Thanks for the help.

Hi
We were in Lagos in January for a week. I went paddling in the sea nearly every day and would have had a swim but the waves were a little too big for my liking, there were a few people swimming. Sea wasn't cold once you got used to it.
The temperatures should be a litle warmer by now so i think it will be possible. I suppose it depends on what you class as cold but coming from the North West of England i found the temperatures to be quite warm. The beaches around Lagos are beautiful and very peaceful at this time of year.
Sorry i can't help re: your other question. Enjoy your holiday.

The Atlantic is never going to be like the Med. and the water can be cold in June/July never mind March. If it helps I was swimming in sea at Xmas and also in March. Cold at first but 'nice once you're in' as they say. Hang on to yer bitz!
