Ocean swimming
If you want great swimming, go to Destillidares. I agree that downtown swimming does not compare to the Yucatan side. But as long as you stay out of the ocean after a heavy rainfall, you will not suffer anything adverse. Foam comes from body and suntan oil, same as in a jacuzzi.

Re: PV Waters
...Your observation on the amount of Mexican nationals vacationing in PV vs Cancun is true. What does that tell you ? Mexicans know a good place and enjoy PV for the same reasons we do. I am just happy they continue to show their hospitality and share their beautiful country with me and Laurie.While I am inclined to agree with you emotionally, I have met many of these Mexicans and they come from Guadelajara and Mexico City because PV is promoted there and air connections are frequent. They often own property here.

Cancun is aimed at the American market. Aside from Chitchenitza, you could be in Miami Beach.
