We're hoping to get there at around 6pm - providing the Kiddo is in a good mood. I'm REALLY looking forward to doing some laps where I can swim longer than 25 yards between turns. |

If so, warn her I will be looking for her so I can fawn over the baby. |

Expert 1277 St. Paul, MN | Subject: RE: Free, authorized, open swim at Nokomis (outside buoys!!!) Anyone going to be there tonight? I am rather out of shape and can only do one lap (or maybe one and a half), but would love to swim with others. I could get there about 6pm or so. Edited by paddle2paddle 2012-07-17 1:46 PM |

| 256 | Subject: RE: Free, authorized, open swim at Nokomis (outside buoys!!!) Went out there yesterday and it was a blast. Did anyone measure the 'course' with their 910xt? I saw an earlier post of 600 yds, but curious what other BT were getting. How many laps did y'all do? |

Expert 1277 St. Paul, MN | Subject: RE: Free, authorized, open swim at Nokomis (outside buoys!!!) I had the fitness to do one lap. I was having a lot of fun and wanted to do more, but that would have been unwise. |

Extreme Veteran 574 Eden Prairie, MN, Minnesota | Subject: RE: Free, authorized, open swim at Nokomis (outside buoys!!!) I'll be there on the early end of things. Hopefully traffic will be on my side and I can be feet-wet by 5:30. I'll be the guy in the Xterra full suit...at least for the first lap or two (gotta get some wetsuit time in).

| Minneapolis, MN | Subject: RE: Free, authorized, open swim at Nokomis (outside buoys!!!) I just swam at nokomis today. temp was good. But i have to say, what is up with the water quality? Is it due to the lack of rain we have had this summer? I literally could not see my hand in the water, while swimming. yikes. |

But i have to say, what is up with the water quality? Is it due to the lack of rain we have had this summer? I literally could not see my hand in the water, while swimming. yikes. Too bad this program is done for the year (last week was final time), but the guard I stopped to talk to last Tues said they too were hoping/pushing for it to come back next season. Fingers crossed! I didn't notice a decline in murkiness / clarity over the summer, but maybe you're right... Assuming the lake/river is cleared for swimming by the proper authorities, I only get concerned about water quality if the water smells funky & swampy. Nokomis can get that way late in the season if there's not much rain, and although we haven't much regular rainfall, I think we've had enough high-volume rainfalls to keep that at bay. No doubt this has been a great program, and I really hope to see it return next year! Cheers, Chris |
