Have you swam any OW where you could see the bottom? Where was it and how deep was it? What was down there? See anything interesting?

Last year, in my first OW group workout of the season, I was in a part of Lake Erie that was 5-6 feet deep and saw some plants (huge clumps of algae, I'm guessing) and some tiny brown-colored fish (maybe minnows?).
I'd never seen the bottom before, so I found it fascinating and extremely distracting. After two collisions with other swimmers, I figured out how to watch out for other swimmers while stealing glances at the fish.
