Answer

What is the best time of year to swim safely in Mallorca?

Mallorca can be enjoyed for swimming for a long season, but safe conditions depend more on the sea state, weather and your own health than on the calendar alone. Cold water, wind and strong waves can still create risks even when the weather looks pleasant. It is always sensible to choose guarded beaches and avoid swimming alone if you feel unwell.
