bathing pools

Places for dipping

Bathing pools are bodies of water designated for swimming or wading, whether natural or constructed.

The term appears in British English and in formal or historical contexts more than in everyday American speech, where swimming pool or simply pool dominates.

A bathing pool may be a public facility, a landscaped pond, or a sheltered stretch of ocean: The resort maintains several saltwater bathing pools along the shore.
