I try to be careful letting him in it in winter though. Don't want him to get limber tail syndrome.

From your link:

It has been said[by whom?] that limber tail may be caused by swimming in water that is too cold or too warm. However, these claims are false, and any resource citing these claims is unreliable and should be regarded with skepticism[by whom?]. The actual cause is narrowing of the space through which the spinal cord passes, typically due to degenerative change to the intervertebral disk spaces. These underlying changes may not lead to visible change until the problem is suddenly exacerbated, such as during physical activity, after trauma, etc. Occasionally other changes are seen prior to or in conjunction with limber tail disease, such as urinary or fecal incontinence, postural abnormalities in the pelvic limb, or pain in response to touching the lower back.

The bearspaw damn used to be an awesome spot and usually quite quiet. Too bad the rail road company closed it. Might be able to sneak in still.
