bathing area
Place for swimming
A bathing area is a designated section of water—at a beach, lake, or river—where swimming is permitted and typically supervised.
The term emphasizes the boundaries: The bathing area is marked by buoys.
Signs may warn swimmers not to venture beyond the bathing area or indicate when it's closed.
