Will the San Antonio river ever be swimmable? KSAT Explains

The San Antonio River defines our community. However, few of us would ever willingly jump into the urban reaches of the waterway. It’s not, by any stretch of the imagination, as clean as the nearby Comal or Guadalupe. Why is that? KSAT Explains.

Is always important to hire the right people to take care of the community.

Despite all the politics going on with this story there's only one true real part of the river I would love to see cleaned dating back to the 1950s were a lot of families would gather around and swim the San Antonio River and that little one block part of the San Antonio River is right off of mulberry Street in back of the golf course is where families would go and gather around and swim the San Antonio River. why do I know this is because this is where I learn how to swim for the very first time in my life. my grandparents told me if I wanted to learn how to swim so my grandfather just push me in the river and I started dog paddling right where the little tiny dam is at.and that's where I remember seeing families diving off trees and having a good family time swimming in the San Antonio River. and I'm just proud to say this is the one part of the river where I learned how to swim.

How does it compare to Guadalupe, Frio and other nearby rivers?

[@tigerber]

They used up all the good water and now you got toilet water.

Why is there no railing alongside the river walk?
