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?

    In Key West I didn't see a whole lot....so small fish, sea urchins, conchs and that was about it. My relay mates saw a school of Tarpons and a sea turtle. In Beaufort, SC we couldn't see anything cause of the brackish water, but I know there are plenty of sharks down there. 18 months ago someone caught a 17' Tiger Shark out of the Broad River. Nothing like having that in the back of your head when jumping in!
