Your first open water swim?

I was just curious about everyone's "first time". When/where did you take that first plunge into open water?? (I did a search to see if a thread like this had been done and came up empty.)

    as an adult... 2.7 mile swim in the Donner Lake Swim, Truckee, CA - I borrowed goggles from the swim organizer... beautiful venue proximate to Lake Tahoe - I highly recommend the swim as a career swim, i.e. if you swim open waters you'll want to swim this one. I have swam the race three or four times... always check flights to Sacramento, CA - often cheaper than Reno, NV including the car rental. Go see 'Fearless Chicken' at the Pastime Club! If you like you can try Amtrak from Sacramento to Truckee, CA... Hot August Nights in Reno, NV is often scheduled at the same weekend I saw no cannibals.
