Most days the time and distance I swim is determined by how cold the water is. I hurry to get out of the water and into dry warm clothes. But today I felt I warm enough that I could have stayed in the water all day, the only limiting factor is how far I can go before my arms and shoulders give out. It was one of those swims I dream about in winter.

Greg and Ted (a.k.a The Patriarch and The Cap'n, a.k.a Dos Locos) will record their excellent Lake Michigan swim adventures here. We'll provide daily updates on lake conditions, and our plans for upcoming swims. In addition we'll write some observations, ramblings, rants, and wacko theories related to Lake Michigan swimming (or not).

I just registered for the Big Swell MKE swim and was able to use a discount code that said it only applied to 1st 50 registrants. If you haven't registered yet, try it: Use code first50MKE to save $10. At http://www.bigswellswim.com/milwaukee-race.html
It was a tremendous pleasure swimming with your group in such a lovely spot. I'll be back! Feel free to get in touch if you find yourself traveling to Boston and would like to swim in the ocean. Patriarch and Drangonfly have my contact information.
