 

Swimming Holes:
A favorite swimming hole is not unlike a favorite vacation spot. They
can't always be found on a map and they're not always easily accessible.
In most cases they are as unusual as the people who find and enjoy them.
Remember to take precautions. Currents can be tricky, and water
sometimes chilly. Of the five favorite swimming holes only Otter Beach has
lifeguards.
