US Navy helicopters at Son Sant Joan: stopover and open questions

Answer

Is it still worth swimming in Mallorca if there is military activity nearby?

Yes, in most cases military aircraft movements do not affect swimming areas directly. If you are at a beach or on the coast in Mallorca, the main practical issue is usually noise rather than safety. Unless there is an official restriction, a helicopter stopover at Son Sant Joan does not normally change beach plans.
