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?

  • The most notable wildlife I have encountered are some freshwater fish at Lake Pleasant last year. The water is so clear there you can see a fair distance and at both events last year I saw multiple fish. I wasn't able to identify which species they were but they were well-fed. They weren't startled by the appearance of several dozen swimmers in my wave, apparently they have seen it all before :)
