It is best to follow the rules posted on the sign, as the local lake authority likely put these rules in place to protect people from any potential danger. It may be safest to avoid swimming until you consult with the local lake authority or a professional in case there are any dangers that are not evident to the naked eye.

It is always best to exercise caution when near any body of water, regardless of whether there is a sign warning against swimming. Even if the sign does not explicitly state that swimming is not allowed, there may be hidden dangers such as rapid drops in the water’s depth, submerged logs and other objects, pollutants, or even dangerous wildlife. If you decide to take the risk of going swimming, ensure that you are wearing appropriate clothing and protection, know how to swim, and know what to do in case of an emergency.
