    U.S. Navy 'swim calls' - 2016

    When you're job is sailing the seas, the World is your swimming pool.

    These amazing pictures show sailors and marines from the U.S. Navy taking part in what they call 'swim calls'.

    Most recently pictured earlier this month (Feb) are those cooling off by jumping from into the Indian Ocean from guided-missile cruiser USS Antietam.

    With the ship anchored, Swim Calls are seen as a refreshing break from the job of keeping high-tech battleships running.

    The activity often occurs in warm foreign waters, such as the Mediterranean, Arabian and South China seas, the Indian and Pacific oceans.

    Suffice to say, there will be people tasked with shark watch, from the ship and rigid-hulled inflatable boats.

    Swimmers are able to clamber back onto the ship via landing docks or by climbing cargo nets.
