That's the difference between the city and the suburbs. Swimming in the city is fine if a lifeguard is on duty.

Swimming in the Great Lakes is very dangerous, especially if you are not familiar with the behavior of the lakes.

Swimming in the Great Lakes is not dangerous at all. They account for 14 drowning deaths per year out of 4500 across the country. That's a quarter of the annual U.S. drownings in the Atlantic despite having more U.S. coastline.
