Do you need a waterproof phone case for swimming and SUP in Nha Trang?
Based on 1 discussion with 3 participants · Last activity: 17 days ago
TL;DR
For regular swimming in Nha Trang, many travelers stop using a waterproof phone case after the first try, but it’s useful for SUP outings, especially at sunrise. If you launch a SUP in very shallow water, it helps to remove the fin and push the board forward with the paddle.

A waterproof phone case is genuinely useful for SUP trips, especially if you’re heading out for sunrise and want to bring your phone onto the water safely.

For regular beach swimming, not everyone needs a waterproof case; some travelers use it only on the first day and then swim without it.

If you’re unsure, you may not need a separate case just for beach time; based on traveler experience, it’s more useful for water activities than for casual swimming.

If you’re launching a SUP in ankle-deep water, it’s easier to remove the fin and push the board forward with the paddle so it doesn’t catch on the bottom.
