How About a Swim?

Splish, splash. Take a swim in a clean river like this one, and you will feel what it is like to be close to nature. Is it ok for people to swim in Jau, though? Couldn't it hurt the fish and plants? Right now swimming is permitted in Jau, because there are so few visitors to the park, and a little swimming doesn't do much damage. Jau is a dangerous river, though, and so swimming is only permitted in natural pools near the banks of the rivers. Children must be accompanied by an adult.
