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 feel like I have to start soon. Probably next weekend. I think the swims necessarily have to be across and back. Diamond Lake on Saturday early AM?
Just looked it up on google map and looks good. Depending on where you start and where you swim to, is that a 1.5 to 2.5K round trip? I'm doing my 5K postal on Saturday morning; but I could do Friday before work or Sunday early.
