One of my favorite places to have swam was off of Andros Island is thd Bahamas. The water was unbelievably clear and the reef was gorgeous! I still cant believe that they counted that as a study aboard and not a spring break!
I love swimming in warm water – salt or fresh. My favorite place would probably be a dip in the Gardon River with a view of the Pont du Gard. I’d love to be back there now. The waters where I live (Vancouver Island) are much too chilly for swimming.
I live in Michigan, about a 20 minute drive away from Lake Huron. But the water in the “big” lakes can be quite cold. We have a cabin near a wonderful inland lake called appropriately enough, Sand Lake, since it has a sandy bottom and great beaches.
Thanks for doing the giveaway. I love these notebooks!
