Swimming

Swimming springs

Florida spring swimming means 72°F water year-round, limestone bowls you can see the bottom of, and state-park infrastructure built for day visitors. Many springs allow snorkeling in the same zones as swimming; scuba and cave entry are separate activities with their own parks and permits.

Pick a spring by magnitude, fee structure, and how far you want to drive from Orlando, Tampa, or Jacksonville. Each profile below covers hours, capacity behavior, and whether the main vent is swim-only or shared with boats and tubers.
