Swimming across Lake Nokomis

This was probably the craziest thing I've done in quite a while. Jenny is training for a mini-triathlon and has been swimming for a long time. I am not a swimmer.

I wanted to do something challenging and it is hot. So what did I decide to do? Swim across Lake Nokomis!

On Tuesdays there is an open swim with guide buoys set and safety kayakers along the swim. I would never do this without those safety features in place.

One way across is 600 yards. I did make it eventually but not very efficiently. Jenny was able to swim a round trip. We talked with one woman who swam three round trips. She is training for a swim to Madeline Island in Lake Michigan!
