Swimming in our pond - 02/01/10 09:23 PM
Hi, my husband and I have a 4 acre spring fed pond on our property. The story of our pond is quite a story as we fixed a broken dam back in July. Maybe when I have time I can post pictures and tell ya'll the story. My question though is swimming. I am wondering if it is ok to let my kiddos swim in it this coming summer? I grew up on a farm but we had cattle so we never swam in our small ponds and we also have many creeks where I am from so we always swam at the creek. I guess I am concerned about the water quality and if it is safe? I wouldn't think it would be any different than Lake Tenkiller or the Baron Fork Creek but I wondered how many of you actually swim in your pond? Thanks for listening and I am guessing there aren't many women on this forum?
