I’m not particularly afraid of wildlife in the water or the woods or anywhere else but common sense is a good thing. It’s even good in the city.

When I was 10-12 in the early ‘50s, we kids would use rocks and tree limbs to dam creeks and create swimming holes. Ours was a bike ride of only a couple of miles from my home in Dallas and about 8’ deep, so many of us would meet there on Summer mornings and swim.
Kids did this in many areas around town. About that time, news came out of a death at a swimming hole a few miles away. Seems a young girl jumped in and landed in a mating ball of water moccasins. She was bitten numerous times and quickly died.
That ended my swimming hole days!
