>>53279518dude where do you live? mississippi? non of the ponds and lakes where i live are like that. even the river that goes through town isnt atrocious. i know of really filthy water bodies but they are all in golf courses or something like that. like you said "duck ponds". but i dont think that pond is a duck pond. it seems like its natural.
>Was swimming something you only did as a kidnot at all. its just the only people i know who have a real problem with ponds and lakes didnt swim in them when they where little so have this false idea of what they are like. they cant make the separation from good and bad water. clearly you can and just have a lower tolerance for duck shit and shit than i do.
