POR river, swimming, ewwwww!!!

Why would anyone swim in the river at POR? And topless at that. I'm so confused with this one.

The majority of people in this world swim in oceans, seas, lakes, rivers. A relatively miniscule percentage in this world swims in swimming pools.

True but the Sassagoula River is man made. It doesn't have the filtration and chlorination of a swimming pool. It has alligators. It doesn't have a natural water source.

I think very little people know that.
And they probably do not think about where the water comes from with other bodies of water.

"There is a lot of water in front of me, therefore I can swim in it."

I would definitely be more worried about alligators. That person is lucky.

Alligators and snakes. There are warning signs set up all along the river.

I was commenting on YOUR observation.

I suspect the swim was part of a drinking game, challenge or dare. Maybe a wanna be blogger looking for video material.

We always stayed at POR and would never go into that water. It has alligators in it, which is enough to keep me out and away from the waters edge.

People do swim in man made lakes so I guess a man made river is no different. They were lucky an alligator didn't get them!

Haha right?? I can’t imagine swimming there, the water looks so murky! I see people doing it every summer though like it’s totally fine. No thanks, I’ll stick to the pool
