swimming hole
Rustic bathing spot
A swimming hole is a natural body of water—typically a deep spot in a river, creek, or pond—used for recreational swimming.
The term evokes rural or rustic settings, often a secluded place known to locals: We spent summer afternoons at the old swimming hole.
Unlike a pool, a swimming hole has no concrete, chlorine, or lifeguard.
