Just wondering what kind of wildlife you all have encountered. My group swims at Morse Reservoir in Noblesville, IN (Indianapolis) Our running list is attack swans (you have to roll over on your back and kick them in the chest to get them off of you) other assorted waterfowl, a crotch carp (one of the group members was standing in water thigh deep when a fish jumped into the air and hit him in the crotch, then bounced off and hit another group member in the chest) and this morning I swam past my new friend the lake snake. What could be next?

    Leanord, was that 2008? I was there too, but I "broke away" from the swim and convinced some intrepid fools to accompany me to the buoy a few miles out. Took me over an hour to swim out 2.5 miles and 30 minutes to swim back, if that says anything about the conditions. I was bodysurfing on the way back. No, 2006. I was hoping to use it as a tuneup for MIMS that year. I've gone there twice and both times they had to have it in the lake. After the '06 one, they said they were going to try to find a better back-up venue, but not sure if they ever did. Still on my to-do list, but not this year, I'm afraid. -LBJ
