No you don't need the right clothes and gear, you just need clothes.
I mean, we don't walk about every day wearing safari clothes and boots, we just wear shorts and thongs, mostly bare feet...
Just watch a bugs life first. It's just like that...sort of...🤣

Hahahahaa I can imagine.... and I've seen it, so I think I can manage 😅.

🤣🤣 I do know from a movie of the Olsen twins that there's a beach, so I hope that I can swim hihihi
Well this is the beach I grew up at....https://peakd.com/hive-119888/@chociscorpipro/just-a-post-about-a-sensational-sea-and-the-place-i-call-home-tathra-nsw which is just around the corner from here https://peakd.com/hive-119888/@chociscorpipro/my-shimmering-stingray-seaphotography-contest--week-156-sea-and-animals and yes you can swim there...BUT there are shark out in the deep- in the deeeeep...
I've never known or heard of anyone to be taken from swimming on the beach, only a swimmer who dove off the old wharf to swim to the beach- which is just silly, cause that's where people fish- off the old wharf, so you NEVER swim where people are fishing. That's just plain stupid.
And at least there's no Crocs down in this part of the world, cause crocs are both land and sea animals and shark are only sea dwelling....And there's no stingers down here- atleast not the really deadly ones anyway...
...cause that's where people fish- off the old wharf, so you NEVER swim where people are fishing. That's just plain stupid.
I try to abide by that rule here myself. We have piranhas in our rivers and eels and what not, so whenever I see people fishing I'll try not to go swimming there.
Suriname also has sharks, but I think at the coast. Not really inland where the swimming places usually are, so I haven't seen a shark yet in Suriname.
So you can still swim in the rivers with the Piranhas??? Really?
I've got nothing against sharks, except for the millions of razor sharp teeth and swimming speed....but I don't want to kill them so so many people do..so I like to stay away from them as much as possible thanks, I'm certainly not the Shark Whisperer like this Aussie lady was/is https://www.wildbear.tv/work/playing-with-sharks-the-valerie-taylor-story/
Hahahaa I'll also stay away from anything that bites. I was even bitten once by a cute bunny you know 😅🤣🤣. I was feeding it and then I had nothing left and it bit me. Also very sharp teeth. Although, if I were in a divers suit in a cage, MAYBE.... I would "swim" with the shark. But it won't be happening tomorrow though hahahaa
So you can still swim in the rivers with the Piranhas??? Really?
Yes, almost all of our rivers have piranhas and some swimming locations are in those rivers. What those businesses then do is put nets in the water, so that the swimmers are "safe". Of course, number 1 rule is to not eat or drink near the water.
Ok well I don't like to be bitten by anything, not even cute bunnies cause I have seen them get very angry before- that's when they start thumping their back feet and will certainly never EVER go anywhere near a shark, not even in a cage thank you...😬 I may be a bit loopy but I'm not that cra cra...
Ok, so you can swim in the nets where the piranhas are, but not eat of drink near them...??
Why are they like mcdonalds hamburglar...🤔

Hahahaa yeah come to think of it, it doesn't make sense. I even used to swim in the same river9s) without nets holding those piranhas away and I didn't think much of it. Now's a different story though.
Yeah and isn't there something not so good about miniscule insects/bacteria that can swim up your stream into you hoohaa and put you in a world of pain...🤔😱
