So, how are you swimmers in So California able to practice in the smoke filled air. I heard that college and high school teams cancelled teams and most of your pools are outdoors.

As a teevee news photographer, I covered some of the Florida fires in '98 and '99 (in the north) and have been in the midst of an Oklahoma brush fire with winds gusting to 35 kts. What I covered wasn't nearly as bad as what they're dealing with in California, and I still wouldn't have wanted to exercise in that smoke. It's just a bad idea.
From what I am seeing on TV, it does look a lot worse than what we had in north/central Florida in '98, and what we had then was very bad indeed. As for swimming in that smoke....... just walking in it was bad enough.
The fire personnel did a great job - they were amazing.
