The sea.
I have swum in rivers but I have to be careful as I am a poor swimmer so need stay in my depth. I'm not too far from good, safe beaches though.
I once found a lovely river spot where the water was about waist-deep over sand for a few yards, the rest being full of long plants. My vague doggy-paddle/sideways crawl of a stroke was about the same speed as the water so by facing up-stream I was more or less swimming on the spot.
A few years ago a friend and I went river-swimming over a long weekend. All went well until she fell horribly ill and I had to take her to hospital for tests for Weil's Disease. Fortunately she'd not contracted that, but her sickness was almost certainly from accidentally swallowing a bit of river. Even if sparkling clear, a mature river flowing past farms is naturally rich in micro-organisms.
