A “swim call” is a term commonly used in the context of naval or maritime operations.
It refers to a designated period of time when the crew of a ship is allowed to swim in the open water while the ship is stationary.
This activity is typically permitted in safe and calm waters when the ship is far from any potential hazards or threats.

Swim calls are often seen as a way to boost morale and provide a break from the routine of being on board a ship for an extended period of time.
They can also serve as a recreational activity and a way for the crew to relax and enjoy the water.

During a swim call, precautions are taken to ensure the safety of the crew, such as having lookouts posted, using safety boats or lifeguards, and establishing clear guidelines for the conduct of those participating.

After the swim call is over, the crew returns to the ship and normal operations resume.
