The Clearest Waters On Earth

(Source: lifebuzz)

There is no better way to keep cool in the summer than a dip in the water. The feel of the cool water caressing your body as you take the plunge provides immediate relief from the sweltering humidity of the summer heat. Most people are used to swimming in chlorine purified pools, many of which are public bathing emporiums. These often become overcrowded and have iffy water quality at best. If you are lucky enough to have a beach near you, be it fresh or salt water, you are already ahead of the game. These often have natural filtering elements, which coupled with a constant ebb and flow ensure a high water quality. This may not be your local beach, but there are places on the planet where nature has created heavenly swimming spots.
