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?

  • I saw an old truck axle in 15-20 feet deep water at meydenbauer beach park in Bellevue, WA. I know lake washington used to be badly polluted, and although it has been cleaned up a lot there are still reminders like this. I can't figure out how the heck it got there. It's way too far from shore to have been dumped from shore. The only thing I can figure is it was dumped from a large boat or barge or from a dock or pier which no longer exists. In the second of the Columbus open water swims at Antrim Park, a tractor tire is visible in about 6 feet deep water at least 30 yards from the shore. I've wondered how it got there. Man-made lake may mean it was from the equipment to set up the flood area, though.
