Meet was fun. I am a new swimmer and only did the 2K which was once around the buoys. The water was a bit low due to the drought but the water temp was good. The wind picked up some and we actually had some waves. That made the event even more enjoyable (not being sarcastic) since I got some experience in choppy waters.
The staffing was great. Plenty of help in and out of the water. Plenty of food too. Facilities for showering afterwards was nice and great for those that did not swim.
THIS WAS FUN.
