lake swimming
Natural water recreation
Lake swimming is recreational swimming in natural freshwater lakes rather than pools or oceans.
The term often implies a casual, summery activity—jumping off docks, swimming to rafts, cooling off on hot days: We spent the afternoon lake swimming at the cabin.
It can also refer to open-water distance swimming in lakes as a sport.
