This is near the beginning of Mill Creek in the Wekiwa State Park. I believe in flows from Witherington Springs but it's easy to get mixed up when you're out on the trail.
One way you can tell that this water came from a spring and not a river, creek, or swamp is it's crystal clear color. You can see the sandy bottom, and the water is moving and sometimes bubbles. If you're near enough to the spring's source, the water will probably be cooler than normal.
I've swam in both Wekiwa Springs and Blue Springs. It takes a few minutes for me to get fully in because the water is so chilly. But once you're in, you don't feel the cold anymore. I've snorkled in Blue Springs, which is really clear. There were all kinds of fish, but no manatees. When the manatees come to the park, swimming is forbidden. But you can still go to watch them.
