swim across a lake

Did this in Canada three summers ago.

One tip: make sure there are not motorized watercraft allowed on the lake you choose. At some point I realized a motorboat could probably cut right across my path and chop me to bits without ever realizing I was there. So maybe I should’ve had someone paddle alongside in a canoe or something. Which also would’ve come in handy if I had a sudden muscle cramp, I guess.

I swam across Lake Athens near Athens, TX. one morning… it was a lot of fun… it was cool to know that I could do it… a nice feeling.

I’m going to do this this summer. I live on a lake now and so there is no good reason for me to not do this.
