This was never meant to be a place for people to go swimming in Lake Ontario. Noone is that foolish (lets hope).
I've never swam in the harbour, but I've been swimming in Lake Ontario (i.e. Centre Island, Hanlans's Point, Cherry Beach) for 30 years and never had a problem. My dogs love it too. When ecoli levels are high and beaches are closed we don't swim then, that's just common sense.
