Lucky's Lake Swim

I posted a few weeks ago looking for an OWS in the daytona area. Since I was staying in Orlando it was suggested I try Lucky's Lake Swim. Good thing i looked into it. The winds in florida last week would have made it rather hazardous to swim the beaches. I stated before I left that I would update on the swim. I originally planned on swimming teusday, however, a bad case of Mickey's Revenge (stomach flu) had up ended my entire week. As my family and I were headed back to Ohio Friday morning I decided to squeeze it in since I felt better. I really wish I would have joined Lucky on Teusday. I would have swam every morning with them. At first I was really apprehensive about pulling up to a strangers gated home at 630a. Once I pulled in I realized it was rather welcoming, and that was just the other swimmers. I walked down to the dock in the dark and got ready to hop in. Lucky came on down and was very welcoming. Myself and about 10 others walked in headed across a dark lake sighting a distant living room lite. Very cool I thought. Water temp was about 70 at shore, a bit cooler out in the lake. Very refreshing after a week of no workouts. The lake is 100 meters out and back...watch out for ducks:) After I got back I was happy to see that Lucky and some others were doing a few laps. Let me say how wonderful it was to open it up a little and have company. So that's the swim. Afterwards all are welcomed to come up to the patio and sign the Wall of Fame and get yourself a bumber sticker. Pretty cool that that this guy does this right? Well, my wife and I were talking with Lucky a little and I have to say, This is one truly kind and unique person. He made myself, and my family feel so welcomed at his home at 7am on a random friday because that's the kind of person he is. My kids have a new love for yo-yo's thanks to Lucky. What a great experience. I recomend it to all who are in the area. www.luckyslakeswim.com
