Swimming 

Lake Malawi's sparkling turquoise waters, rich and colorful fish and beautiful golden sandy beaches make it a tourist gem. Lake Malawi has clear, salt-free freshwater, and the warmth of its waters means that swimming can be enjoyed all year round. Once you dive into the waters of Lake Malawi, you can see the colorful cichlids in the clear water, or simply relax on the idyllic beaches and rocky islands. Swimming in Lake Malawi is generally safe, but if you don't feel comfortable swimming in the lake, most of Malawi's lakeside lodges and hotels have swimming pools large enough to accommodate you.
