Which Sharm El Sheikh hotel has a swimmable sea in August rather than a long shallow lagoon?

TL;DR

A recent report from the new Bay View section of an adults-only hotel says the sea is warm, clear and deep enough for proper swimming in August. There is also a shallow sandbar nearby, so confirm the exact beach entry before booking.

What the community said

At the new Bay View section of an adults-only hotel, the sea was reported to be clear, warm and suitable for real swimming, rather than requiring a long walk through a shallow lagoon.

Bay View, adults-only hotel

For travelers who want to swim directly from the beach, this spot appears preferable to Sharm El Sheikh lagoon-style beaches: the reviewer specifically contrasted it with areas where the water is too shallow for swimming.

A nearby sandbar was visible with people standing knee-deep in the water. Shallow patches therefore still exist, so ask the hotel where the deepest beach entry is and whether swimming is best from shore or a jetty.
