What is everyone thinking about the open water swimming practice? Anyone up to try it this weekend? (Saturday morning or Sunday afternoon would be my preference) I'm trying to plan my workouts for the week and wondering if there are any takers?
I've seen several people out there swimming in the open water already and it's making me nervous! I don't have a wet suit. Anyone know what the water temp is? I want to try it, but may have to put it off a week, temp depending. I am game for a workout either Sat am or Sun any time.
I have no wet suit and I am not planning on getting one. For what it is worth, Jim swam in Lake Harriet two nights ago and said that the water was very cold but not as cold as Lake Superior. You should know in evaluating this info that Jim thinks most swimming pools are frigid. He did not swim very long though because the seaweed was overwhelming. YIKES.

Do you guys have wet suits?
