Where you can actually swim in Subic
The Subic Bay Freeport Zone has a short list of beaches, and the ones with clear swimming rules sit inside resorts. The waterfront is free to walk, one beach sells a day pass, and one admits overnight guests only.
These are suggested places from the story, grouped into a starting route. Adjust the order, travel time and bookings to suit your day. Check current opening hours before setting out.
Day 1

Free, 24-hour waterfront promenade on Waterfront Road in the CBD, used for walking, jogging, cycling, and picnics. Several monuments line the route, including the Hell Ship Memorial.
