Forite Body of Water to Swim In.

Pool here too. I'm paranoid about what else is swimming in the water if I can't see through it.

We have a lake here that has a beach area. The water is clear around the beach and you can clearly see anything coming or going. LOL I will swim there at times but I don't do it often tho. I use to lOVE going to the lake! THat all ended when my husband and I took a waverunner out into a DEEP lake. He decided to try to jump a wave. We did... and then it FLIPPED! I spazzed and so did he. He can't swim so I gave him my life jacket as well. So there I was swimming in the middle of a lake that was every bit of 60 feet deep. It was so dark that I couldn't see a thing. It was the first time that I was ever really scared of the water. Ever since then I have haven't been able to get in a lake till we moved here. As far as the ocean goes... Nope .. not happening. I am too much of a chicken S**T to do anything but stand at the edge. Way to many critters out there with teeth for my liking. This NEVER bothered me as a child. AHH the joys of getting older and wiser! LOL

River by far is my favorite swimming spot. Specifically the Comal River in New Braunfels, Texas. It is spring fed, crystal clear, no chlorine, just good clean H2O. The absolute best thing to do is float in an innertube on the Comal. You can lay on top of the tub and just relax, contemplate your pedicure and watch the world float past, or you can look through the center of the tube and watch what is on the bottom or look at the fish. This is such relaxing experience. Hubby and I honeymooned in New Braunfels and have gone back there almost every summer since. Would love to own a home on the Comal, however, it's the shortest river in the country, and real estate is sky high!!
