@ grace:
I was just going to say, I have swam in so many ponds growing up, never thought about it twice.
Until recently, when we were fishing at the neighbors pond, and on the edge was a snapping turtle, almost as big as a car tire.
That was it. No more ponds.
We don't have the ocean close to us, but I don't mind swimming in lake Michigan. I did go into the new park lake/old pit with the grandsons a few weeks ago, but I figured there were enough people in the swimming area to scare off any big turtles.
