spring-fed pools
Naturally replenished swimming
Spring-fed pools are bodies of water supplied by natural underground springs rather than streams, rivers, or municipal sources.
The constant flow of groundwater keeps the water fresh and typically cool year-round.
These pools may be natural formations or constructed basins that capture spring water: We swam in a spring-fed pool carved from limestone.
They're prized for swimming because the water stays clear and maintains a steady temperature.
