no swimming

Pool's red sign

No swimming is a warning that swimming is prohibited in a particular area, typically posted on signs near bodies of water.

The restriction usually indicates danger—strong currents, contaminated water, absence of lifeguards—or that swimming would interfere with other uses of the space: The reservoir had no swimming signs posted along its banks.
