OK all jokes about growing an extra limb or coming out cooked. Will I have to worry about the water in the Hudson north of the Tappan Zee Bridge?
Do any OW swimmer take any meds to prevent any sicknesses. I don't plan to drink the water...

I don't know the area you mentioned, but I had a bad lake swim. It was a high use lake and the smell/taste of fuel oil gave me dry heaves.
I now stick to large bodies of water (Gulf of Mexico or Atlantic Ocean).
As to taking meds, never had to. You're going to drink a little, can't be helped, you get used to it--even salt water.
