7 of the World's Most Stunning Swimming Spots

Imagine swimming next to one of the world’s biggest waterfalls, perhaps. Or swimming with thousands of jellyfish, or in a place where every movement brings on a neon blue trail. As magical as it all sounds, all of these places are quite real. Click through for these and more of the world’s most amazing spots to take a dip. 1. Devil’s Swimming Pool, Zambia

How much money would you need to get in that water?! Only a natural rock barrier protects these swimmers from falling nearly 300 feet down one of the world’s most prolific waterfalls. Indeed, when the river level is just right, Devil’s Swimming Pools is nearly as popular of a destination as Victoria Falls itself! Though it is possible to stay perfectly safe here, accidental deaths have been reported.

2.Yuba River, California

With the gorgeous scenery of the Sierra Nevada Mountains, and plenty of jump rocks and waterfalls, the Yuba River is already an amazing place to swim. But there’s something that makes this river extra special: the gold-inflected water! Though there’s probably not enough to make you rich, you’ll find some flakes just by scooping up a handful of sand. 3. Bioluminescent Bay, Puerto Rico

Known as Bio Bay, this swim spot is perhaps the brightest and largest of its kind. In the dark, any movement in the water leaves behind a neon blue trail.
