Preserve Graydon member defended the water quality, and Marcia Ringel, the group’s co-chair, said that a boy had recently spotted a $1 bill under 12 feet of water and dove for it. Opponents said the water quality was so bad that parents could not see their children if they submerged. But Daniel Castellanos, an experienced Graydon lifeguard now a Rutgers lifeguard, said the ability to see swimmers underwater has more to do with physics than with the water quality as waves and refraction often make line-of-sight view of swimmers impossible except from elevated seats. Some Preserve Graydon proponents also said that heavily chlorinated water is a health hazard to children with asthma and allergies.
