Okay so I'm getting used to lake swimming again. The water in Schroon Lake (upstate New York) is warm and sweet. And the mountains in the distance are beautiful. To the north you can see the Adirondack high peaks from the water. I'd like to just swim out and out and out but I don't dare because of boats and jetskis. I've started swimming along the shore past houses and docks. I don't go very far though. I hitched an escort with some kayakers yesterday which was great. If I had an escort I'd swim across the lake and back. I think it may be 1.5 miles across here - maybe more. Schroon Lake is 9 miles long and varying widths depending on where you are. I wish I had a swim buddy!
ooh, Ruth, it sounds beautiful where you are. I love that feeling of swimming while looking at mountain peaks! I miss swimming with you, be sure to let us all know when you come back to visit so we can plan a good swim reunion. xoxo
