I've always thought that all the swimming adviseries at various beaches were probably an over reaction.I know they have bacteria levels that are set by some agency and when that level is reached,an advisory is issued.I don't think I've ever heard anyone becoming sick because they were swimming in these areas.You would probably have to drink 40 gallons of water before it had an effect.I do understand that small children and the elderly in poor health could be at more risk but I still think these warnings are overkill.
