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.

VB,
Where along the lakefront were you swimming? Also I've noticed with that particular web site the temperatures indicate much colder when cloudy conditions are indicated (heavy back shading) and then rebound when the clouds clear. Not sure how the sensors actually work but they are good for plotting trends.
Saturday could be an adventure, but that's why we swim open water!
