Swimming hole
意味: A natural spot in a river, creek, or lake where people swim, especially a hidden or local favorite.
The swimming hole is an American summer institution. It is that perfect spot where the creek deepens into a pool, the river forms a calm bend, or a waterfall creates a natural basin. Swimming holes are found by locals, shared by word of mouth, and fiercely protected from overcrowding. 'I know a swimming hole' is the magic invitation on a hot day. They represent free, unsupervised, spontaneous fun — a counterpoint to chlorinated pools and water parks.
