OWS at Aurora Reservoir

Have they skimmed off all the ice cubes yet? I am going to try the Gravel Pond and the Bowles Reservoir first,even though they are a further drive. I believe that Aurora is mountain fed which is why it never gets really warm.

Ray, I have not seen showers at Aurora Rez.  

I'm about 98% sure they don't have shower facilities.  I checked the site and there's no mention of them and I've never seen them there.

I don't recall every seeing showers there either but thought maybe I could have missed them.  I would still be up for an early am swim.  I might also try some evening after work if anyone is up for that...

I been swimming there since it opened in mid-May. It has definitely warmed up. I'd say it's about 55 now.  I used a sleeveless and a fullsuit and was much more comfortable with the full suit. I also wore booties and extra cap. 

Unfortunately, there aren't any shower facilities there. 

I'm planning on doing the DIP part of the dip n dash on 6/17 before I leave for CdA. I'm thinking it might be crowded with Danskin being on 6/29.  Alot of women will be getting in their first ow swim. 

btw-was anyone else out there on Saturday. The currents were so rough that we had whitecaps! That doesn't happen very often out there.

UPDATE:

I swam at the Res last night. It was pretty nice. The posted water temp was 60 degrees. It felt a little chilly when I first walked in, but after swimming a couple hundred yards I didn't even notice it. I had my full wetsuit on and was fine.

Sunsets out there sure are nice!
