Hi - I will be spending Memorial Day weekend in Hyannis, MA, and was hoping to find a place to swim - either pool or open water - while there. I looked on the places to swim list, but there aren't any in Hyannis proper and I am unfamiliar with the area. I also tried the New England LMSC site and its not very user friendly - just a really long list.
Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks!
as for open water - ummmmmmmm
how about Cape Cod Bay?
Your best bet is Brewster or Dennis especially if it's an afternoon high tide (it'll be warmer) - you can hop in and swim along the shoreline until you want to turn around and come back - not many, if any, waves on the bayside and the water's nice.
Craigville beach is usually pretty warm too - relatively speaking...it is MAY after all!
The cape is full of ponds so if you can take the cold temp, you can find more freshwater than you can shake a stick at.
