    Default Went swimming in Lake Michigan yesterday

    The water must have been between 40 and 45 degrees (that is what it felt like at least), and I spent an hour in it. All the people on the shore (not that there were a lot of them) were looking at me like I was crazy, but I didn't care because I was having a blast. It was my first time ever seeing one of the Great Lakes and I really wanted to swim in it on my first time. Spent three hours before that rock climbing (with a bum ankle at that - who is the beast?), and I wanted to cool off anyway.

    Sounds fun.

    I can't actually swim.
    At the end of the day politics is just trash compared to the Gospel.

    lol, is it because you don't live around water, or that you just never tried?

    Ah, according to noaa.gov, the water temp was 39 degrees in the area I went swimming. Sweet.

    That's disgusting you had to ask the government to find out what the temp of the water was. If the lake had been privatized there would have been a digital thermometer right there on the coast line that you could read after putting in a quarter.

    I'm afraid of any large body of water, and almost died once from drowning trying to overcome my that fear...

    I'm assuming you measure in Fahrenheit in which case kudos to you.

    When I go swimming I usually just float around without bothering to actually swim. Lot more relaxing. But at that temperature I guess floating won't be all that fun.
