Just curious but is it safe to swim at the lake while preggo? I know water parks or pools have the chlorine in them & it kills the germs but lakes are dirty water with a bunch if germs. I've gone to the lake every summer for as long as I can remember & am already sad cause I dunno if I'll be able to stand the crazy Oklahoma heat.
