Anybody wanna start Tuesday and Thursday night swims at Ohio Street Beach. I figure if we get enough people then we can rotate out. Like one group watches the other's stuff and so on. I don't trust leaving my stuff up by the bike racks because last year a lady got her bag stolen AND it was attached to her bike. They cut the straps.

Who's in?

    Next Tuesday or Thursday is fine with me.  I'm now leaning to Thursday since Friday is a recovery day so I don't have to worry about being out too late on a school night.

    Can't do it Tuesday, now.  Anyone up for Thursday.  I've got to get in some cold water swims.  Just looked at the water temps for Racine and it is friggen freezing.  Please pray that the temps start to warm up quickly before the SoR.  Otherwise I'll be in about 52 degree water!!!!!

    I think I was going to try to get out there too...my workout schedule is going to be a little light/crazy this week, since it's quarter end, and in the investment/marketing world, that means a lot of late nights, and I am still fighting off a sinus infection, so I doubt I'll be eagerly waking up at 5 to workout either...

    I'm going to try to get there as close to 6 as I can.  6:30 at the latest.  Will only be making it an hour long workout at the max in the water.  If it is as cold as they say it is, it may be even shorter.  Going to do a short warm up (300-400?) then do a full 1500 straight through then get in a cool down of about 300-400 easy.  Again, it all depends on the temperature.  I've got another friend that will probably meet us there.

    Alright.  Everyone who wants to go on Thursday, meet there no later than 6:30.  We will start the swim right at that time.   I will probably do another one next week, just to get some more OWS in before SoR.  Anyone who can and wants to be there, Ohio Street Beach, 6:30 on Thursday night. 

    See ya there and be ready to be cold!

    I'll be at Ohio Street Beach tonight (July 8) at 5:30 p.m. and will swim at 5:45 or 6 with a couple other BTers. If we have enough people we can do two shifts.

    BE THERE!!!

    I went out there at lunch today and the water was very nice. You swim in and out of colder sections, but all in all it was pretty comfortable. Anybody have an idea as to the distances that you swim? I didn't see any distance markers.

    I thought I read that if you swim to Chicago Ave and back it is close to a mile.

    First red post in the lake is .25 miles one way.  Post is even with stoplight on LSD.

    Second red post in the lake is .5 miles one way.  Post is just before the curve on LSD.

    Yep.  I don't mind the rain as long as there is no thunder and lightening.  I'm getting wet anyway.

    so i am gathering that there is an area that you can do ows in any time?

    are there lifeguards?

    Are the distance markers starting from the shore line or from the start of the rope line?

    There is a swim channel for OWS any time. Lifeguards are out there, but they pay only a little bit of attention. The guards in the boats by the shore line pay closer attention.

    I believe distance is from the beach. And the water is about 4.5 feet deep so if you get in trouble, stand up.

    Tomorrow (July 15) at 6 p.m. Who's in?
