You are describing one of my favorite activities.  That and diving. 
I actually prefer diving but a lot of people I swim with get 
overwhelmed by swimming in the actual deep ocean but are not 
threatened by tide pools which are fun too.  Regarding your question 
I didn't actually say "piles" I said piled stone meaning that the 
jetty is just a pile of rocks and gravel.
