Swimming at the pool or at the beach:what's your choice?

Both have it´s charms. I like to swim at a pool but love to play with the waves at the beach.

I prefer the pool. I don't know but personally, i feel the beach is kind of messy. I feel something sticky on my skin and i hate the combination of sun and salt on my body. I easily gets sunburned. I enjoy the pool. It's pretty smooth to be swimming on them. Pool is a lot safer too since it has a level bottom unlike the beach where it's getting deeper as you go farther.

Friend, I don't know to swim so i prefer watching the big waves and the crazy fellows who are swimming with that huge waves in the beach by sitting at the shore.ah.

It is fun to jump around and soak in the salt water but when it comes to swimming, I prefer to swim in the pool. At the pool at least I know the depth and the area is limited and safer. In the sea, it is hard to know where the shallow part ends, that will be disaster if I feel tired and need to stand up. In the pool, I can easily reach the side.

I love the beach, don't get me wrong, but when it all comes down to it, I much prefer to swim in a pool. Two main reasons for this, the first is that I'd have to drive over 12 hours to get to a beach to swim. So, when I have the opportunity to visit the beach, I take it but I cannot make a special trip to swim at the beach. The second reason is that I have two small children and when we are swimming in the pool it is very easy to keep an eye on them whereas with the beach it would be nearly impossible.

Swimming at the beach is the best! Nothing beats it, its beautiful out there more open space and crowded like pools in the cities that have little kids going to the bathroom in every 5 seconds. All in all the beach is better can go and get your tan on as well :P

I like to swim at the beach. I really am not that much of a fan of pools unless the water is heated. I dont like to swim in cold water. I really dont like swimming at indoor pools in the wintertime that much. If I do swim in the pool I want it to be outside in the summertime.

i prefer swimming on a beach. i like it natural. whenever i go to beaches, i ask some lifeguard for goggles (i dont have one) to see underwater and we kind of have fun whenever we see fishes. and it's a tradition to force a boat man to let us all in to a boat having a capacity of 2 passengers. hehehe.. in a pool, it's only cool for me if i stay overnight on a resort.

We don't have a beach, but we do have a lake. I enjoy swimming there rather than at a pool because I want to swim. Lots of times pools aren't big enough or they are too crowded. The lake gives me lots of room for swimming.

I like the ocean because of the waves. There's nothing like body surfing to shore, laying in the hot sand, the smell of the coastal air...and of course the fresh seafood we get for dinner. Swimming at fresh water lakes is also nice, because of the fresh air and the smell of people's BBQ grills cooking up chicken, hotdogs and hamburgers. Swimming at the beach or a lake is more relaxing too. People tend to make a day of it with swimming, people watching, reading and eating, etc. If you go to a pool you usually swim and then leave. Plus, I have light colored hair, and the heavy chlorine used in public pools makes it turn green. I also don't like smelling like I just stepped out of a load of bleached laundry.

i love to swim in the pool....'cause swimming in the pool will reduce ur body weight and a very pure water is being used in swimming pools...the source of water is very much trusted in pools, but in beach, i dont prefer much to swim in the salty water, but i swim in the beach when i need a good exercise and surf some time.. but i swim almost in the pool, twice a week.. happy to respond..happy mylotting..

While I LOVE being at the beach, I'd much rather SWIM in a swimming pool. I get nervous about sharks and jelly fish when I'm swimming in the ocean. I do enjoy riding the waves some in the ocean though. If I had to pick a favorite, I'd say I like swimming in pools best!

yes you are right there, no big waves in the pool.. and me also, i prefer to be in a pool rather than under the sunlight at the beach..!! also beach i think is dirty, there was one time a swim all over the beach and i saw a "ppoopoo" lol.. aslo swiming at my back, it's so ewwww.. that's why i will never go to the beach...

The beach! lol its much more of a challenge and it works your muscles harder then the pool does as you are fighting both the current and waves most times. The pool is good for relaxing on a floaty with a martini in your hand^_^ Though i can understand why most would prefer to swim in the pool, it's Much safer

I like swimming at the pool because the city where I live is too cold for any outdoor swimming. I think it would be fun to swim at the beach. After swimming at a pool, my hair would smell like chlorine for a long time but I wouldn't mind smelling salty like the beach. ^.^ Happy mylotting

Well the beach is definitely more beautiful, but I think that a swimming pool is much easier if all you want to do is swim. I guess a pool would be much cleaner too due to the regular maintenance, but with a beach, it is all natural, so unless it is a really gorgeous beach, it's likely to be quite dirty. I also find swimming at a beach quite difficult because of the strong waves of the water.

im totally agree with you as it is more comfort to swim at pool especially in our private pool (i hope i have one!!) More elite i think. Although it is almost the same about the crowd wheter you swim at pool or beach, but i think pool is more clean than beach. beside i dont really like the hot of the beach.
