PLACES WHERE PEOPLE SWIM This section is the start of what we hope will be a comprehensive guide to places where people swim. Please help develop it by sending us details and pictures of places you know. Thanks 
 We trust that you will take the necessary safety precautions before swimming in any water. No water is safe for everyone at all times. Please do not assume that we recommend swimming in the places listed by us. |
