There are several places where swimming is not recommended. It is sometimes risky and dangerous to swim. In order to avoid possible dangers, please get familiar with the list provided below. Before you book a trip to any of the destinations, think well and analyze all pros and cons of those areas. All places are beautiful, but not all of them are safe.

Shark Alley. South Africa

Forget a free-swim in Shark Alley. This is impossible to do unless you are looking to die. The problem is that this area is known for a variety of sharks. Tourists and local people come to that place to hunt sharks. One of the species of sharks that is especially dangerous is the Great White. The number of these sharks is very high so people who are ready to enter the Shark Alley do so in a steel cage. 

Lake Victoria. Africa

That’s another location that is very dangerous and risky. Lake Victoria is considered to be one of the deadliest places on the planet. Every year the lake takes more than 5,000 people’s lives. If you do not want to be one of the victims, refrain from swimming in that lake. There are a few reasons why the lake is so dangerous. First, the area is famous for extreme and unexpected changes in weather. In a matter of hours the weather conditions can significantly change. Second, local people make their living by fishing. When the weather is windy, their boats sometimes capsize. People fall into the water and, unfortunately, not all of them are strong enough to reach the shore.
