    Lakes and rivers are my trout.

    I've swam across the Hiwassee near my hometown... Like a mile.

    I love swimming. So much. I used to be on my hometown's swim team and I was good at it in spite of being short.

    I never learned how to swim so I have no idea if I'd like it or where I would prefer to swim in.

    Outdoor pool - Favourite on a hot/sunny day. And as I favour hot/sunny days, my favourite overall. Private pools are amazing when you get them on holiday.
    Indoor pool - Favourite on a cold/rainy day.
    Ocean (beach) - This is my favourite of the natural waters of the world.
    Lake - I don't mind lakes.
    River/Creek/Stream - This really depends on the current, depth and how clean the water is.
    Ocean (ocean) - This idea scares me a fair bit, but at the same time I bet it would be really nice to swim with whales or manta rays. I don't think I could ever do it though.

    Both indoor and outdoor. Oceans and Lakes creep me out.

    Depends on the water and the weather conditions, I like the ocean when the waves arent breaking too far from shore, I like an outdoor pool if its not to crowded and an indoor pool if its raining outside and I like a river that's not too fast (Im not a very strong swimmer). I've never swam in a lake but I have no objection to it, streams and puddles tend to be too muddy.

    Lakes, outdoor or indoor pools. I dislike swimming in oceans because the waves make it really difficult and I dislike the saltiness and because they have jellyfish and giant squids. No freaking thank you. I never swam in a river but that sounds like a bad idea because of the current. Man made lakes are safer.

    I like swimming, but I suck at it. I'll swim anywhere if just the water is warm enough. Below 23C and I'm out.

    Swimming is great. I swim pretty much every day in the summer and I'll just walk around in a swimsuit all day sometimes and the next day....get a another swimsuit. I have an absurdly large amount of swimsuits. It's embarrassing how much I love anything about water.

    Living in a landlocked state the only natural bodies of water are usually murky lakes surrounded by rednecks playing loud music. I like a nice pool myself but public pools aren't any fun. Besides that, the ocean is lovely. Love me that sand and sun.

    Growing up my sisters and I were pretty hip because we had a pool and deck and we'd have friends hang out until like 2 am whilst listening to music. It's commonly over 100 Fahrenheit not accounting for humidity or heat index in the summer so it's borderline required to swim at least a bit if you want to go outside for more than a couple of hours.

    I would swim in any man-made swimming pool and nowhere else.

    Pools in which I can see the bottom of and absolutely nothing else. I have spent too much time studying creatures of the ones to be comfortable swimming in it. Lakes and rivers are rarely see-through and the have leeches and parasites and horrible little fish and there is always the story of gators popping up in places where they don't belong. No thank you.
