We did we would go swimming at the Garhole when I was a kid. It was out close to my grandparents house in the middle of no where. There was a fresh water spring right up the road that had ice cold water running over a little concrete "bridge". I remember walking across this bridge barefoot once with my dad and I passed out from the cold! We would gather water from this spring in big 5 gallon buckets. I hear the spring is now poluted which is sad. we would all go swimming together at the garhole my mom, dad,brothers and grandma and grandpa and me, then grandma and grandpa would go off fishing while we continued to play. Sometimes dad would go fishing too but most times he would stay and play with us.

I wish I had! England is a little short on swimming holes!!
I did go swimming at the public pool regularly though. I took classes all through my childhood and was in a swimming team too.
I'm making up for my lack of childhood outdoor swim spots now though. My own kids get to swim in the river or lake just about every day during the summer.

when I was a kid we had a cottage on lake huron, and we would all go to the beach in our back yard to go swimming. There was also a big beach at the end of the road where all the neighbours got together and swam. It was a load of fun up there during the summers.
