I plan on doing the Big Shoulders Swim in Chicago next month for the first time. Will drive up from Cincinnati on the day before. If I go to the Ohio St. Beach the afternoon/evening before, is it likely that I will get in a warm-up swim?
If not, is there another place on the lake that would be good to get used to the lake? I have a reciprocating Y membership that will get me into the Lakewood Y, but I'd rather swim in the lake instead of a 20y pool.
Thanks for the help, and to all of you who have said that this OWS is addictive, you can say that again.
Are there any good beaches to train open water SOLO during the workweek between Evanston & Highland Park? I have to be there on business next week and would love to get some O/W training in the lake. Thanks for any advice. I'd be looking to swim early AM (6am-7am).
