OK all jokes about growing an extra limb or coming out cooked. Will I have to worry about the water in the Hudson north of the Tappan Zee Bridge?
Do any OW swimmer take any meds to prevent any sicknesses. I don't plan to drink the water...

This is one of the funniest round of replies I've seen in a long time. Thanks so much for the laughter from everyone's experiences.
Hey, Stud, I'm going back to Texas for awhile shortly and have joined an OW Swim Group and will now be swimming only in a lake (Joe Pool Lake). I, too, hate stepping on that mud that squishes between the toes. But the upside for me is because it's fresh water, my tongue and throat won't swell up like it always does at mile number 3 in the ocean. Plus, the only marine life will be trout and bass. No shark/jellyfish/sea lice worries for awhile!:banana:
