We have a number of lakes here in "Lake County" that I would like to swim across. Not because of great distance, but because I want to swim across them. There are a dozen or so above 150 acres. I have put together a list. I'll obviously have to check water quality and it's an approved lake for swimming, not a marsh, etc. I have the ISHOF "Swim Safer" bouy and plan on doing them when boat traffic is light (early am). Most will be 1-2k wide. Are there others of you out there doing this? Am I a trend-setter or is this a known malady? Some think me crazy but I think it would be fun....
I try to search out for new lakes/OW venues to swim as well. Sounds like you are being safe, which should be priority, then have some fun. I join a group in the Berkshires of Mass for their Wednesday night swims when I am able to - always more fun with a group. Enjoy! :)
