- Swimming is permitted only within the designated Swim Beach Area marked by ropes and buoys.
- Swim diapers are requested for use with young children.
- Ingestion of untreated agricultural water such as Windsor Lake carries an inherent risk of possible exposure to pathogenic organisms. Individuals who have been ill are asked to refrain from entering the water.
