Bear Creek Lake Park - Soda Lake
1200
Open Water Swim
500 yards (channel rules)
500 yards (w/buoyancy shorts)
I was inspired by a friend of mine who recently swam a mile without a wetsuit at Chatfield. This is challenging for a couple of reasons. First, it is hard to swim a mile. Second, it is much easier with a wetsuit. Third, the gravel pond at Chatfield is a commitment with the only bail out point being the sand bar.
I decided to go for a swim without my wetsuit. I did 4 laps, taking a break between each one. It was much harder and much slower without the buoyancy shorts. First two laps took me 17 minutes. Next two laps took me 15 minutes.
