I have been open swimming in the ocean in Myrtle Beach SC for 30 years and have recently been harassed by law enforcement and arrested. I am going to trial and hope to eventually change our local laws. Does any one have experience with this issue or recommend a legal expert that can testify on my behalf. I am sure this issue has come up in other communities.
Local ordinance restricts swimming to 50 yards or chest deep water. Since I have to clear the surf to swim parallel to shore, I am in constant violation of the law.
