This is why I DON:T swim in open water! When will these folks learn that your swimming in the home of thousands of dangerous things! I know its been going on for years, becase as a child I’d go to Dauphin Island or Alba Bay and play in the water all day. Not Now…if I can’t see the bottom thats not inviting to me!
