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?

I swim alone quite a lot...just yesterday afternoon this thought was running through my head as I enjoyed a wonderful lake swim in the Adirondacks. I also cycle alone...I decided that I am probably safer swimming alone than riding my bike. Besides, if I had to coordinate my schedule with someone else, I would never get to do the things I love. Plus, the alone part contributes to the "Zen".
