Lets see yours.

More of a Gulf than a hole down at the southern home.
The stream outside my place in Nederland. 8123' above sea level.

In the last week, I have spent 4 days camping/rafting the Rogue River in Oregon, jumping off cliffs in the main river and waterfall swimming holes in side canyons, getting tossed out of an inflatable kayak, stand-up paddling the mild rapids. After that, went over to Crater Lake, the deepest and clearest lake in North America (and brrrr!), and got in a little swimming and cliff jumping. Them is some sweet swimming holes. And I did it all with my kids! Pictures will be forthcoming, perhaps this weekend.

The gulf counts, but it must be super warm right now! I spent a winter in Naples, and that water was hot!
Edit: Yeah, Nutjob! Post pictures when you get a chance!
The time to seek out badass swimming holes is upon us.
I'm headed to a railroad trestle tomorrow. I've been jumping that thing since I was a kid. 25' of fun!

It's the northern Gulf, runs around 70 to 86 degrees in the heat of summer.
Going paddle boarding in the AM to scout for turtles, dolphins, and sharks.

I have to drive 50 miles to the boat launch at Mexican Hat on the San Juan River. The water averages about 2 feet deep, the color of coffee with cream, and about 86 degrees.
My Dog, Jack, absolutely loves it.
Plus, it is the nearest place to drink beer legally . . .

In the fifties they found giant ants living in the holes down there.
At the right downslope angle you can do a slip-n-slide on the slimy moss for upwards of a mile.
Watch out for gang bangers taking target practice!!

Lately there is even an outdoorsy campfire smell from the Idyllwild fire. Not to be missed.
So come on down!
( bring extra ammunition)
And yes, you can swim with a bulletproof vest. If you are in good shape.

It's hard living here in Umbria, but somebody's got to do it! Happy swimming.

My favorite is the Halls of Karma in the New River Gorge.
When it's 95 degrees and the humidity is 99%, there is no better place to be. It goes into the shade in the early afternoon when it gets really hot. The only problem is that coal trains are always going by...
Park-n-Play kayaking and swimming...
Here's a video of the underwater kayaking there at Halls of Karma:
