    Any clean body of water.
    Don't like pools much.

    Easiest poll ever. Pools are full of chemicals. Ocean is salty and wants to kill you. Lakes get stagnant and nasty. Give me a river any day.

    There is nothing better than warm ocean water.

    Lake or River

    Nothing like standing in the ocean and listening to the waves though.

    I like the river. Not a big fan of the ocean. Especially at night. Lakes are cool but Ecoli is a MF!

    So…. You haven’t meant the Willamette? Or the Clackamas, which is full of red necks?

    Thankfully this is no longer the case in most American communities. I was in Cleveland 2 years ago and they’ve done an impressive job of reclaiming the river. Now they’re trying to reclaim as much riverfront as they can for recreation and tourism. They get an “A” for effort. Prior to the Clean Water Act, the Willamette was an open sewer. Today, as a former wastewater treatment professional, I would not hesitate to swim in it (and have done so). The comeback has been remarkable. And anyone who might say that the Willamette is still a sewer is ignorant AF. But I DO give the Cuyahoga River fires a a great deal of credit for helping create the EPA (and my profession) and the resultant improvements in water quality (regardless of how far we still have to go).
