Lake Tahoe -- July 4-12

Hello -- my first post to this forum, so hopefully, I won't run afoul of the etiquette police. I did a quick search on the board here, and I'm surprised that there aren't more posts about swimming in Lake Tahoe. My family and I will be in the area for a little over a week, and I have had a hard time locating any information on just going for a swim in the lake. Not looking for an event, per se, but maybe finding a group of folks who swim together -- for safety and for company. My brother in law agreed to accompany me in a kayak for the mornings that I can brave the water temps (anyone know what the actual temp is in the lake these days? I found this link: remote.ucdavis.edu/tahoe_allsite_engresult.asp, and it seems to indicate that South Lake is around 65 degrees -- I find that hard to believe, though), and I have direct lake access via a private beach. Anyone interested in a few 1-2 mile morning swims? PM me on this board... Twosox
