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 checked it out this morning at 7:15. The lake was calm with zero activity. There is free public parking next door to 820 Diamond Lake Rd. This is adjacent to a pier and we can enter the water there. Smooth as glass & quiet! There's a small apartment building and then the Park District beach is after that. Same side as the beach you found. I don't think they'd like us swimming past their bouys... Okay, I'm planning on being there Sunday. Looking forward to it!
