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).

Wim Hof on Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel
Here's a clip from the episode featuring Wim Hoff that was aired on HBO last week. It's only a 2 minute clip - the whole episode had a lot more detail, including showing people who attend his seminars. His son has monetized his philosophy of better immunity by acclimating to the cold (he actually thinks his immunity is perfect). It's a multi-million dollar business.
Wish this clip included the scenes of him leading his followers in the familiar movements we've seen the Klode Wim Hoffers - where they're swaying from side to side and throwing punches towards the ground.
In searching for this clip, I see there are tons of other videos about him on YouTube. I'll be checking these out, too.
Hi I was hoping to be able to swim with your group sometime. What is the best way to find out when you will be swimming? I’m probably looking for water a little warmer than what is mentioned in this string. I’m a bit of a cold water whimp with a wetsuit.
Martin -- Come swim with us! To answer your question, the schedule may not be very regular right now, but eventually, we'll be back to a regular schedule (daily swims, often a morning swim and a later swim). The usual practice is the blogger at the beginning of the blog indicates conditions for the most recent swim, and indicates when the next scheduled swim will occur. Or, check the comments, as sometimes a swim is "scheduled" by a person leaving a comment. Let me know if you have any other questions. Looking forward to meeting you on da beach!
Thank you! I'll definitely be there. I'll keep an eye out for the next swim. It will be my first "cold" water swim. If there is anything I should know could someone send me some pointers at martin_staples@yahoo.com? I look forward to meeting everyone.

What’s the lake temp these days?
What are you hoping for?
Well, I’d love to see it in the 40s, but I’ll take 37 :)
Huzzah!! 37.6° Tuesday. Perfectly clear with little plumes of sand matching the waves.....like so many tiny explosions. Real treat.
Starting to dream...
Looking good for Saturday at Noon - 47 and mostly sunny
I’m hoping for Drangonfly’s former golden rule of 110 combined temp. But Blind Faith and the white lies of friends can be convincing too.
