The Pacific Masters Parkside Aquatic Mile appears to be tomorrow. What's the water like down there? Clean? Temperature? I'm looking at the race location on a map, and I'm not getting excited. It appears to be some kind of drainage sluice.

I have done it twice. Water temperature both times around 65-70, warmer than I had expected. Visibility poor. Second time I did it the whole area had a faint but unmistakeable sewage smell. On the bright side, the event was nicely organized and there is a big play structure in the middle of the beach for your kids to enjoy while they wait for you to return from your adventure.
