Regular Member motherredcap Posted August 1, 2014 Regular Member Share Posted August 1, 2014 As many of you know, I love to swim. You are hereby encouraged to post your most recent and best swimming spot - anything from the beach to the backyard pool! I know jenzaar has got one! Here is mine. My family and I drove around a bit of Spain and France and wound up here, at the Pont du Gard. While swimming is forbidden directly under the bridge, you can swim elsewhere in the river - and we did. The water was cold and green and the view great. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member fantailfan1 Posted August 1, 2014 Regular Member Share Posted August 1, 2014 Ok not as fabulous as Susannes but dear to my heart. . This is at my day's house. My parents put this pool in when I was 3 years old. And, here we are 20 years later , still enjoying it today. Used the panoramic view on my phone. Did it work? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member jenzaar Posted August 1, 2014 Regular Member Share Posted August 1, 2014 Wow, that is amazing!!! I bet that memory will be one you all hold on to. Since I've been summoned (and I actually began reading this thinking I'd have nothing to post! ) here's our favorite place. This will be a fun thread to watch! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Justin Posted August 2, 2014 Regular Member Share Posted August 2, 2014 Some of you may know i recently went to Iceland (June 16-25) and I swam in the geothermal Blue Lagoon a little ways out of Reykjavik. It was beautifully blue and oh so warm and soothing 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member motherredcap Posted August 2, 2014 Author Regular Member Share Posted August 2, 2014 Great spots, folks. Keep them coming. I honestly think that swimming outside is a sort of spiritual thing. I can't believe how much better it makes my old, creaky body feel. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member jenzaar Posted August 2, 2014 Regular Member Share Posted August 2, 2014 Wow, I can't imagine seeing either of those spots Helen and Justin posted. I would wonder if I was dreaming. Sure I can see the pictures, but its existence outside of magic and dreams is questionable to my feeble - and not well-traveled - mind. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Justin Posted August 2, 2014 Regular Member Share Posted August 2, 2014 Wow, I can't imagine seeing either of those spots Helen and Justin posted. I would wonder if I was dreaming. Sure I can see the pictures, but its existence outside of magic and dreams is questionable to my feeble - and not well-traveled - mind. It truly was incredible. At times the fog would be so thick you couldn't see five feet in front of you, and at other times it wouldn't be there at all. Due to the spacing of the different vent openings of the geothermal pockets, different spots were warmer or cooler. Some were so hot that I couldn't stay for more than 2-3 minutes. It all depended on how much you could handle. When I was there, I also went to a geothermal pool. It was like a normal pool, but heated and replenished by natural geothermal springs. Everything is so beautiful and looks so untouched. The mountain views are beyond stunning. No words to describe it properly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are so fortunate to have experienced that!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
