These are some of the concerns, hazards and dangers associated with lake swimming:

Swimmers have been injured by objects in the water, both floating (logs, needles, garbage, etc), fixed (buoys, posts, columns, etc) and sharp object on the bottom (glass, cans, knifes, etc).
Swimmers have been attacked by water life (eels, water fowl, etc).
There is a danger of being injured or killed by a motor craft or other kinds of water crafts.
There may be health hazards associated with pollution in the Lake (water is tested, but results take 2 days to process).
Lake currents can be more powerful than the strongest swimmer, are unpredictable and have swept swimmers off course.
Lake waters are inherently COLD. Temperatures typically range between 50 and 61 degrees Fahrenheit and can change without notice.
Weather can change quickly and without notice. Some weather conditions are hazardous to swimmers (rough white capped waves, wind, lightening, etc).
Swift currents and cold water can precipitate drowning, heart attacks and hypothermia.
As swimmers often leave bags and/or equipment on the beach, while swimming, these objects are often stolen, destroyed or pissed on by dogs.

I understand and assume all risks & liability associated with swimming open water.

Express assumption of risk & release of liability to Oannes Swims:
On behalf of my heirs, assignees, personal representative, and next of kin, I hereby release and hold harmless Oannes Swims Organization, its officers, members, officials, agents and employees and other participants, with respect to all injury, disability, death, or loss, injury or damage to me or my property, whether arising from the negligence of the Oannes Swims, its members or officers, or otherwise.
