Since the decision to be baptized is an issue between an individual and his or her church, there appears to be no issue of legality that pertains to the location of the baptism, beyond the implied or expressed rules that prohibit trespassing or swimming.
However, those who are either receiving or performing baptism should consider secondary issues of liability, if there is any possibility that something could go wrong. Among other considerations, care should be taken to ensure that the candidate is prepared to be immersed and that the one doing the immersing is trustworthy. While baptism-related drownings appear to be rare in the U.S., they are fairly frequent in Africa.
