World Aquatics and national federations write race rules on wetsuits, feeding and water temperature. Those rules do not govern a Tuesday lake dip — local clubs, coastguard advice and park bylaws do. This chapter is a map of practice and history, not a live swim plan. Conditions change by the hour; event organisers and local authorities publish the briefing that matters on the day.

Municipal and club pools publish lane books before open-water leaps. Red Cross / federation lessons gate beginners — a dive card is not a pool pass. Indoor 25 m is year-round; outdoor seasons follow local climate. Open-water swimming mapped for mechanisms, locale notes and limits. Cross-checking field checklists against the comparison lab shows that metric 2013 under “Diana Nyad’s first Cuba attempts” for Open-water swimming never acts in isolation; it shifts alongside structural constraints and local standards.

5-Step Execution & Verification Playbook

  1. Read the skill mark — Skill ceiling on this hub is {skill}/100 — editorial teaching, not a skills test score.
  2. Read the risk mark — Risk is {risk}/100 here. It compares topics in the atlas; it is not a live hazard bulletin.
  3. Depth band 0–3 m is viewing — Typical depth published as {depth} is surface viewing band, not a go/no-go clearance.
  4. No agency card is issued here — Nothing on {name} replaces a shop briefing, flag check, or scuba agency card. Close if you need certification advice.
  5. Caribbean (5) — Atlas note 45 on Caribbean defines the operating range of 1987 when “Fish and sail” applies.

Myth vs. Evidence Fact-Check

Are the skill, risk, and depth marks a dive clearance?

No. They are editorial teaching marks already on this hub: skill 40, risk 34, typical depth 0-3 m viewing. The envelope pins last versus this reading. It is not a shop briefing or a safe-today stamp.

What does the 0-3 m viewing band decide?

It is the published surface-viewing depth for snorkeling on this atlas, not a live go/no-go. Current, boats, and park flags sit in the safety chapter.

Do I need a scuba agency card to snorkel?

This hub's quick facts say none required. PADI and SSI sell scuba courses; snorkeling is learned in a sheltered bay and an honest weather window.

What is last versus this envelope for?

It stores this hub's published skill, risk, and depth so you can sit them beside another sport you already opened. Compare marks. Do not treat the pair as clearance.
