It says swim at your own risk, but I would only wade close to the shoreline due to the strong currents for safety precaution. Any river is deceiving in their strength.
There are monsters that live in the river that will eat
I wouldn't recommend doing more than wading, it's not super clear or cold water.
We can't legally prevent you from swimming in the York River but we don't have any designated swimming beaches.
