Swimming in a river is challenging, especially after heavy rain. The water in rivers is fast-moving, and there are often steep drops or obstacles under the water that may not be visible.
"Think twice before you enter any body of water. We want you to stay safe!"
The Neuse River demands special caution from visitors. It’s important to recognize that the Neuse River has moving water, with some areas experiencing fast-moving currents. These currents can lead to steep drops where the river becomes unexpectedly deep. This poses a significant challenge for individuals, regardless of their swimming abilities.
As summer and water activities continue, it's important for everyone to pay attention to these warnings and be careful.
"If you are looking for a safe place to swim, visit one of our City of Raleigh Pools!"
