swimming spot

Place to dive

A swimming spot is a place where people go to swim, typically an informal or natural location rather than a constructed pool: a river bend, a lake shore, a secluded beach.

The term suggests local knowledge—a swimming spot is somewhere you discover or are shown, not somewhere you find in a guidebook: We hiked to our favorite swimming spot upstream.
