I like the consistency of a pool. I love to visit and enjoy the wind, waves, weather of the ocean and large lakes.

Temperature control. Easier to do my water dancing/exercise in. I have never swam in the ocean, but I have swam in lakes, small rivers, and the San Francisco bay. I enjoyed them, too.

Weather permitting, of course. I prefer the motion of the ocean.

Me and chlorine/treated water don't go well together. Really painful

I have so many many wonderful childhood memories of swimming in lakes! It's only natural since I grew up in Northern Michigan surrounded by lovely water.

I live near the ocean. It's more interesting to swim in the ocean because of the waves and the sea life. It's also more spacious.

THIS year's was definitely positive due to our new president! But please don't tell my pooch, she is terrified of them!

They're very beautiful, even though I know the noises can be hard on little kids and animals.

I live in the city. Someone very near us was shooting off fireworks. High flying, beautiful but dangerous for the area, thank you. I’m not sure who called the police.
