I'm taking a casual poll of the "Best Places to Swim in the World" for a freelance story I'm working on. The topic is very open-ended: I'm looking for anything from the best place for an open-water swim, i.e. La Jolla Cove, to an olympic pool with an amazing setting, i.e. North Sydney Olympic Pool.
Your ideas would be most helpful to me; from the well-known watering holes to off-the-beaten spots, from swimming holes to hotel pools...And please note why you love swimming there.
#1--Lake George, NY near Shelving Rock (just over the mountain
from Hogtown). Clear, clean, cool fresh water with rocky shores
for diving and beautiful pines for a picnic and lots of Bass.
#2--Split Rock Falls on the Ausable River just off Route 9
about 11 miles south of Elizabethtown, NY. Cold mountain
stream with the clearest water I've ever seen. Dive off the
cliffs as high as you want to go into 30+ feet of gin!:D
