You don’t swim in rivers here. There are too many alligators, big snapping turtles, and water moccasins that will get you.

There are no alligators in Ohio. Snappers and water moccasins, ok.

I wouldn’t totally discount that. There was a story a couple of years ago about some kids on a field trip in West Middletown. That is near J.D. Vance’s hometown. There was a 7 foot crocodile seen in the creek. I have been a creek walker since a boy, wow. There was an alligator seen in the great Miami river many years ago near Trenton, Ohio.
