How about swimming areas in Eastern Maine-Augusta Area?

I will be driving through there in the next few days and i see all this water on the map. Are there any good lakes/rivers for swimming. And as a nod to the Old Orchard Beach lifeguards, by "swim" I mean go out "over my head" and move via stroking (and some kicking) for at least 1/2 mile in each direction...yes really... I don't mind if there are or aren't lifeguards (except when I have to help them "rescue" me from swimming in water over my head after I told them that was where i was going and they agreed...)
I'm guessing there are not many open water swimmers in this state but if anyone passed thorugh and found a great place to swim...

The coldest water I've ever swam in is at the beach at Bar harbar. In August it is in the 60's, if you're lucky. I'm always so surprised to see all of the Canadians swimming in it!
