Anglers don't really need impounded waters.
Swimmers I would presume would either be venturing out from a boat, private waterfront, or public waterfront like a beach (not sure if they were including those in the process).
Kayakers may see a problem... but hard to tell.
If we simply remove the dams, saving the cost of maintenance, I think we would still have swimmers, anglers, and kayakers, even private waterfront and boating.
