[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The river near DC is notoriously treacherous. There are drownings every year from people who underestimate it. I wouldn’t swim anywhere in the river without a life jacket. [/quote] I think this is both true and an exaggeration. the river is quite treacherous after heavy rains, but is totally swimmable at other times. I have swum in it many times (near cabin John) but I only go in when and where there is very little current. Lots of people swim in the river, we just kind of keep it hush hush. https://www.chesapeakebay.net/news/blog/riverkeepers-seek-to-lift-a-50-year-old-ban-on-swimming-in-d-c-waterways https://www.npr.org/local/305/2022/03/23/1088192692/time-to-lift-the-ban-on-swimming-in-the-potomac-and-anacostia-rivers-advocates-say[/quote]
