Open Water Swimming...

OK, so today I got my butt down to Lake Anna for a while to do some open water swimming. Now, it's been well over 20 years since I actually swam in something other than a pool (not counting floating about at the beach), and it was in the dead of night... Daytime is quite different! At night, your brain doesn't expect to see anything above or

Was there skinny dipping involved in your last OWS? It seems curious to do such a thing at night with clothes on.

Amazingly, no, but I am pretty sure it was illegal. There is a swimming hole *somewhere* around here, but I cannot for the life of me remember how we got there. There was a big flat rock in the center of it that we'd swim out to and sit on. During the swimming there was always the additional excitement of the potential for someone coming off the rope swing directly on you. :)

Probably not terribly safe, but we always had a decent number of people around to keep track of each other. It's interesting to swim when you're basically just following someone's voice.
