I saw this on Kickstarter the other day. Looks great, I hope something comes from it. They raised the first level of $25K, but need $500K to do all the research. It would be great if something like this was inexpensive enough for cities to buy to pull into rivers/lakes near poorer neighborhoods where people don't have as many opportunities to swim in hot months. Could be a great community building tool as a side effect.
This is an absolutely brilliant idea. I'm from The Netherlands, I've swam in all kinds of waters, and if I ever had the chance I would probably go swimming in the Hudson because I really just don't care, and it can't be all bad, it is a flowing river.
But if this allows a community to be built around it, and brings people together I am all for it, I love swimming and the more people that know how to swim the better =)

It can be all that bad, many rivers are basically sewers.
