So, after reading through some threads in which it seemed like people suggested they trained in open water after dark, my question is: Do You?
Typically, a few times a year (usually when the moon is bright) I will go out at night and do a normal long swim, but I don't make a habit of it. Last October, before the water here in CT got too cold, I went for several night swims (using tinted goggles, which was a bit of a mistake) but now I am thinking of making this a more regular thing in order to train more when the tide isn't conducive to training during the day (i.e. when I'm at work). Is this just stupid?
It doesn't seem any more dangerous to swim at night than during the day (particularly with appropriate goggles:)) since I am always swimming by myself anyway. Any thoughts on this?

We used to swim in the Credit River when the lake was too cold. The Italians used to go to the shore line and stick their hands in the water. They would suck onto their hands and that is how they caught them.
Apparently they are a delicacy in Italy. Royalty ate them in England whatscookingamerica.net/.../LampreyPie.htm
I hated them with a passion.
thats probably the best way to get rid of them.
lamprey sushi anyone?
