20 years ago we did that from the train bridge near bowness to shouldice. was pretty fun but there were a number of places where it was easier to walk than to try to swim. we didn't run into any dangerous garbage but the rocks and depth fluctuations in current were enough to look out for. all in all, i think we were pretty lucky that nothing too terrible happened.
careful...
