Can you swim in a pond?

Along with water quality, it is important that the physical characteristics of a pond are appropriate for swimming. The depth of the pond can often determine if it is safe to swim. In addition, sunken trees and submerged rocks can be invisible from the surface of the water and can pose a danger to swimmers.
