People don't swim in the Amazon river, there's lots of other things in there that will kill you!
Edit: to clarify, in the areas of the Amazon that I've been to (maybe the more remote areas), nobody swam. Most of the locals didn't even know how to swim despite living on the river. It may be different in other areas.

- fdgjgbdfhgb 3y agoSwimming in the river (with the dolphins!) is a very popular tourist attraction in the Amazon, actually. Just don't pee in the water![1] [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Candiru_(fish)#Modern_cases https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Candiru_(fish)#Modern_cases
