The creeks are not meant for swimming in. This seems to be a large issue. The body oils and perfume from the clothing contaminates the water. Heat takes oxygen out. Fish and creek creatures die.

@215hood it may be true in thousands of people swim there daily, but that aint it

What’s really sad is little kids and their parents allow their children to swim in this creek. It’s a wonder they don’t get really sick themselves. There are signs posted NO SWIMMING.
