Night Swimming Series No.3 (2024) Photograph by Serge Horta

In Vietnam, many people rush to the beach after a long day of work, not only for a leisurely swim or exercise, but to avoid the scorching sun, as having a tan it is not considered attractive as it is in the West. As the sun begins to set, Vietnamese workers flock to nearby beaches to meet family and friends, eager to cool off and escape the intense afternoon heat. With the sun's strong rays beginning to weaken, it's the perfect time for a refreshing dip. The evening swim sessions become a social event, with friends and colleagues gathering to splash around and chat while enjoying the cooling waters. It's a unique aspect of Vietnamese culture, where daily routines are adjusted to prioritise comfort and relaxation in the face of intense tropical heat.
