The ranking was created after asking 400 people to rate the best swimming spots in the province.
So, pull out your bathing suit, slather on the sunscreen, and check out some of the best spots in BC to go for a swim. And if you decide to visit swimming holes that have fast-moving water, such as rivers, be sure to practice caution and wear a flotation device if necessary.
