My daughter played in the water for a year end party at school and got the itch bad!! You can safely play in the water however I would towel off, change into dry clothes immediately after and of course shower as soon as possible.
My daughter is a water rat!! The other kids that didn't soak in it for the entire afternoon were fine.

This btw only applies to the bay. Once your past the bridge there are no issues whatsoever. I've had the kids tubing all year no problems they just need to hang on better! lol

I'll be there all weekend too.... Like Doc says water is only questionable in the bay...been swimming all year out in the main body and sittin around in wet shorts drying off after...have not had an issue.

Doc, Plio, Myself, Todd, showtime (?) will all be around the lake on saturday.

There are pics of all of our boats on here if you look around.

Water has been excellent in the Fallis/Coal Point area all year.
