Can You Swim In NYC's Rivers?

Over deze video

I grew up in New York City and for my entire life, I was warned that swimming in the East River is a dangerous and bad idea. But recently, I've been wondering if that common warning is true, or if it's a myth repeated by New Yorkers. In this video, we went on a journey to uncover the truth around the safety of New York City's waterways, and along the way we met incredible New Yorkers who are working to make access to safe and clean swimming areas around the city possible. Please leave a comment if you like the video, it really helps!
