anyone do the Fat Salmon swim last year?

I feel like I am putting myself at risk for many smart aleck comments by even posting that thread title.... I'm wondering if anyone did this Seattle race last year and what you thought. We're thinking it could be a good excuse for our family to visit the NW again, after living there for many years, and wanted to see what the swim was like. Anyone have any experience? Thanks.

  • What's the water temperature like? I'm not a wetsuit swimmer but Fat Salmon would be the week before I'm doing a 10-mile swim in Vermont and I don't want to do anything foolish. (Of course, I just said that after saying I'm doing a 10-miler so who knows was constitutes foolish for me...) And the general water quality? It looks like a great day from the few photos I've managed to see but I always love to hear from someone who's done it. Thanks again.
