No swimming is more about shipping and currents (the hudson is cold, fast, strong, and filled with boats). Also, the hudson river isnt the east river.

The beach in Brooklyn is on the East River.

If you cannot safely eat fish caught in the river due to pollution, I don't think you can swim in it safely either.
