There is no better place to swim than in the Bahamas, with guaranteed clean warm water, it’s perfect year round. Whether you’re a pool fan or lover of the ocean, you have choices with soft waves and dozens of pools to choose from.

The fun thing is as an adult swimming with dolphins is so much more fun, especially during the booze cruise.
