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 do open water races. so I've never swum in the Hudson myself. But I know several people who have without problems (even downstream by Manhattan).
The Hudson has really been cleaned up very well, especially north of the Tappan Zee. The New York State Parks Department is even planning to open swimming areas near there. (I'm told that there are some tricky and strong currents in the Hudson, though.)
