Let's say about 6 - 12 ideas.

I saw some of this today. It's pretty sunny around my hometown, and the schools are done for now, so families were out doing stuff. I think it's dangerous, but I guess some people disagree. Better to swim in a pool, or do stuff in the sea (where there's a life guard).

Generally its safer in terms of lifeguards, plenty of people around, the water youre in is considered safer

Was taught at a young age if the water is brown (eg. River) best not swim in it as you dont know whats underneath (eg. You can get tangled in the weeds underneath) and generally unhealthy (germs/pollution)

There are plenty of rivers that aren't brown and plenty of beaches that are.

Build character.
I've never seen anyone playing in the mud or making sandcastles at the end of a pool.

Oh and some 'brown water' is just a river with Tannins in it.

I swam in rivers all the time growing up, designated swimming areas are perfectly safe and imo rivers are easily the best natural water for swimming.

I would say ocean swimming is significantly more dangerous, especially to kids

This. I'd never swim in a river because of this. I never grew up swimming in natural sources of water, though. I hate swimming in the ocean and only went to a lake once as a kid with my friend's family.

Meh, better safe than sorry. It's not something I particularly enjoy anyway, so I don't feel like I'm missing out on anything.
