I am new to open water swimming and have a question for all you experienced swimmers.
I am thinking about swimming in a local fresh water lake at a state park. My plan is to swim about 50 -75 yards off the beach and swim parallel to the shore. I am thing about towing a lifeguard rescue tube behind me for safety and for visability.
Am I crazy for thinking this way?

About 5-8 years ago, I bought one of those red rescue tubes for exactly this purpose. If I'm using it in a lake, I usually don't even worry about staying too close to shore.
The strap doesn't usually bother me much -- only occasionally catch the strap on a leg, usually when heading downwind. Good luck.
