TL;DR
Yes, swimming in Kemer in October is generally still comfortable — the sea stays warm, though it may feel a bit brisk when you first get in. By late October conditions are less stable than in areas like Alanya due to the surrounding mountains.
A traveler asked whether it would still be warm enough to swim around October 27 or if it would already be too cold.
According to locals, October weather in Kemer often resembles a hot summer, and while the sea can feel slightly brisk when entering, it generally stays warm and comfortable for swimming.
Keep in mind that Kemer sits perpendicular to the rest of the coastline and is boxed in by mountains, which means rain clouds sometimes get trapped over this area while nearby regions stay sunny.
For more reliably warm weather and longer sunny hours on the beach late in the season (October), some suggest considering the Alanya area instead, as the climate there tends to be more stable during this period.
For those worried that water temperature in October might drop below 25°C (77°F) making swimming less comfortable, plus the sun setting early making it chilly to get out of the water, it's recommended to look for a hotel with a heated seawater pool as a backup option.
