Hi! I will be on Nantucket late this month and want to swim in one of the freshwater ponds. I have read that Miacomet is a good one but have also read that there are snapping turtles (yikes). Does anyone have experience swimming in any of the ponds on Nantucket? Thank you.
I hope this is not too late -
Head out to the east end of the island - Quidnet. There is a large pond there - Sesachacha.
It is not entirely freshwater as they open it to the ocean twice a year.
I have swam there many times and have found it to be a great place to get in an open water swim.
Enjoy.
