TOP 10 PLACES YOU SHOULD
NEVER SWIM

Swimming is one fun activity that people all over the world for years and years have come to love and
master. You could probably think of several places that would be great for swimming. You have Pools,
the beach, and even those really cute comically small inflatable pools. But, in this script, we're going to
show you about twenty places where you should absolutely, under no circumstances, ever, swim. You'll
thank us later.
#10 REUNION ISLAND

When you hear reunion island, you might think, "Oh, that's nice." But, you would be sorely mistaken.
Even though Reunion has a huge variety of exciting and adventurous land activities that could keep you
busy for as long as you want, the waters are extremely appealing to visitors and locals alike.
Reunion Island is a French territory in the Indian Ocean that is extremely sorry for its surfing and has
most recently become the shark attack capital of the world. If you take a trip down memory lane, you
might remember back when South Africa had lots of shark attacks because it had 0.15 attacks per
million people. Well, it might be nice to know that Reunion Island has 8.28 attacks per million people.
The island has seen a record number of thirty-nine attacks, nineteen of which were fatal. So, do you
really want to get in that water?
While no one exactly knows why the island has become such a hotspot for sharks, it has been
speculated that it was due to the creation of a marine reef that attracted more fish – resulting in more
food for the sharks.
#9 THE BOILING LAKE
Well, maybe I don't need to talk too much about this. The name literally says it's boiling. So, you know,
what else do you need? Located in Dominica, The boiling lake is probably what you think it is based off
of the name – a lake that is straight up boiling all the time. Now, you might wonder why mother nature
would do that and I don't know what to tell you, we also have mosquitoes.
This is because underneath the water is red hot magma, another thing which, like boiling water, does
not sound like it would be fun to touch. While the lake actually looks kind of appealing, like it would just
be a nice hot spring, in reality, the water is roughly ninety degrees Celsius, or a hundred and ninety
degrees Fahrenheit. You do not want to be caught in that.

During periods of time when the temperature decreases, strong harmful gases, such carbon dioxide,
can be released, and also small steam explosions can occur. So, boiling or not, this lake is just a total no-
no.
#8 THE NILE RIVER

The nile might very well be one of Africa's most famous rivers. That might be because of its significant
feature throughout almost all of history, as far back as over five thousand years ago. The Nile is the
longest river in the world, spans 11 counties, and it is estimated to be around 4132 miles long.
The Nile is home to a lot of living creatures and one of them is a freshwater predator, the Nile crocodile.
These reptiles can grow up to 16 feet and weigh over 500 pounds. Every year, hundreds of people are
attacked by Nile crocodiles in sub-Saharan Africa. For reference, there are only sixteen shark attacks a
year in the United States.
Besides the crocs, you have something else that's just as bothersome: a disease called Bilharzia. That is
an infection caused by parasitic worms that live in freshwater. The disease symptoms are abdominal
pain, liver damage and kidney pains, an estimate of 4,400 - 200,000 people die each year from this
disease. So to avoid ending up like a zebra on National Geographic or with a horrible disease, you should
probably just stay on land and not test your luck.

#7 BUBBLY CREEK

With a name like “Bubbly Creek,” you might think this one is harmless and inviting, but the waterway
itself is really not. “Bubbly Creek” is the local name for the South Fork of the South Branch of the
Chicago River. In the early 20th century, the flow of the Chicago River was reversed, sending it toward
the Mississippi River and away from Lake Michigan, in order to keep the river’s pollution from entering
the city’s source of drinking water. This reversal has made the river all the more difficult to clean up in
the years since. So you can imagine the filth that has accumulated in there for what, a century?
Bubbly Creek is considered the worst part of the river. Interestingly, the creek actually gets its name
from bubbles rising to the surface from the area’s chief pollutant: decomposing animal carcasses. Yes,
the dead bodies of animals. Meatpacking waste including blood, manure, urine, and various body parts
was dumped into the channel by the nearby Union Stockyard for over a century.
