Makes sense. I did assume it was swimmable during the summer. I just figured it was like in Maine and New Hampshire where it was a short season. Do y'all ever get to swim anywhere besides pools? I'm a southern kid, I grew up swimming in lakes, rivers, the ocean. Just about everything but the swamps lol

Tons of rivers and lakes, but you still have to be careful. Generally folks are out on the first hot day of the year and forget the water is still 50°. LOL.

There's this place called "High Rocks" and every year people are like "Well, start the clock until the first drowning..."

Jesus. Yeah, we get some drownings here, but nothing like that. There's this one spot in the county I used to live in called the blue hole, where the water is always 45 degrees, and kids dare each other to jump in. They freeze up or cramp and drown.
