Even strong swimmers are urged to stay out, as inflatable pool toys are no match for river hazards like branches and thorns—and four people were rescued after theirs failed. A tragic drowning at Cressy Bridge just days after highlights the danger. Sheriff Warnke’s message? Stick to safer spots like local pools or Lake McSwain—your life’s not worth the risk.
