    That's sad.

    I do lots of sports and always willing to do stuffs a bit more out of the way but that swim. Never. I can't begin to imagine swimming in that water for that long. creeps me.

    The water of Victoria Harbour is severely polluted. E-coli, heavy metals, sewage etc. fish is not suitable for consumption. Just don't understand why they would swim in that water.
