It depends on what you mean by safe.

In the 19th century and early 20th century, that question would have seemed preposterous. Millions of people cooled off with a dip. But as factories were built on the Hudson, the river became an open sewer. Paint poured in from the General Motors plant in Tarrytown, oil from railroad repair facilities in Croton and human waste from Manhattan. A resident who taught himself to sail along the Peekskill shore in the 1960s told me that anytime he fell in, he had to wipe sludge from his clothes.

News 12 - 'Explicit' sex education lesson at center of Croton-on-Hudson school board meeting--Jun 16, 2022, 10:20pmUpdated 6h ago--By: News 12 Staff---A health education class that some parents called "too explicit" took center stage Thursday night at a school board meeting in Croton-on-Hudson.  It all stems from a recent classroom exercise in which some students were asked to list words they've heard related to sexual activity.  School officials say the lessons are part of its health curriculum developed years ago after an off-campus sexual assault.  Plenty of parents and teachers turned out in force with their own opinions on the controversial class.  MORE AT 'Explicit' sex education lesson at center of Croton-on-Hudson school board meeting (news12.com)
