What's DD in this context?

Due Diligence. Check that it is safe and clean.

No obnoxious currents (generally or due to recent rainfall) for example.

No debris. No disease. No sewerage. Rocks. Sudden depth changes. Things that will eat you.

What about boats? Locks?

Is it legal?

Even then probably would want a life jacket anyway.

That said back at 20 I’d just jump in on the basis that if someone else has it is probably ok.

But watch what they do when a baby poos in your local aquatic centre. They don’t fuck around. Everyone is out in seconds.

I just cannot possibly wrap my head around why you'd abbreviate due diligence.

Yeah and then they let the pumps and chlorine do their thing and you can go back to swimming 30 minutes later.

These days nobody knows the baby pood in the pool, they wear "swimmies"; diapers designed for swimming. It's disgusting.
