@ric_a5 - a year ago, no-one swam in that end of Shadwell other than me. But they closed off access to the water level pontoon at the other end early last year, so anyone who wants to swim has to dive 7-8 feet, instead of jumping in at water level. That makes it much more dangerous, as there's more risk of people panicking, having trouble and being unable to get out etc.
They're not going to stop people swimming there, but they've just made it more dangerous so they can shift the blame to others.

Report regarding one of the missing people. Horrible news.
