Since I've lived on the Mississippi all my life, yes, I have swam in it. I was a little kid though & didn't know any better. I wouldn't dare swim in it now, it's dirty-that's why they call it the muddy Mississippi...
some hippie dude is working his ass off cleaning it up, he's started this big thing and a shitload of people started helping, its pretty cool.
