CS Dept. Lines: 10 Here in Ithaca, NY, the city's reservoir has traditionally (though unofficially) been used for swimming. Since an accident occurred here, people are now being arrested for trespassing. In discussing the fate of the reservoir, it has been claimed that public swimming areas must be supervised by a lifeguard. Is this true? Can't the city's liability be removed by posting signs declaring that the area is unsupervised, and to swim at your own risk? UUCP: cornell!doug ARPA: doug@cornell
