What are the most special and beautiful places abroad to go swimming?

• The cenotes of the Yucatán (Mexico), many of these natural pools have crystal-clear water in stunning surroundings or even in caves.
• Lake Tekapo (South Island, New Zealand), hike and take a refreshing dip afterwards.
• Dead Sea (Jordan), the place to experience a certain degree of weightlessness, but be careful of cuts and avoid getting saltwater in your eyes.
• Ice water in Finland: combine a traditional sauna with a short dip in a hole.
• Ice springs in Iceland: those that are a bit more difficult to reach are also less crowded.
• Lake Bunyonyi (Uganda), hippo-free and crocodile-free swimming in a large mountain lake in East Africa.
• Tide pools near Cape Town (South Africa), where you can swim shark-free in a semi-natural setting with an ocean view.
• At the foot of the Kuang Si Falls (Laos), swim and float in the jungle with blue water and views of green mountains and rocks.

Combining swimming with other water sports
