Canada has a lot of lakes that have algae / micro-organisms in it that make it unsafe for humans to drink the water or in many cases even swim in.
Is there a temperature that the lake could get to where the living things in the lake would be unable to hurt you?
I live near the shoreline of lake you wouldn't want to swim in, but was thinking in the winter if I cut a portion of the 8" thick ice, I could install a ladder and do polar dips.
Does everything gross just live under the ice for the most part during winter?
