When noticing this I talked with a lifeguard and he said the water was filthy. There were hundreds of people in the water and the lifeguards did not appear to make any effort to give swimmers and sufers any warnings. The warning signs were much to small and too few to be noticed. I only hope that my children and others enjoying the ocean yesterday do not contract any infectious diseases.
