Swimming directly under or around a pier is generally discouraged and often prohibited by local harbor safety ordinances due to significant hidden hazards. Piers feature heavy wooden or concrete pilings that create strong, unpredictable underwater currents and undertows, sharp barnacles and rusted metal fasteners that cause severe cuts, and unseen submerged debris. Additionally, boat traffic docking above poses a major collision and propeller strike risk.
