A young girl clinches to the back of her father as they swim in the cold water of Ginnie Springs on a November day. Growing up in Florida, I am reminded of my youth and how lucky I was to indulge in the environmental beauty of the state and all of its year-round outdoor activities. Ginnie Springs in particular, is a hot spot for night swimmers, especially in the late fall when the 72 degree spring water is warmer than the air, creating the illusion of warm water, when really... it's still cold.
