I have a bay in my back yard. Last year, i did all my swimming in it but I wasn't able to work on technique. I REALLY need to work on technique. Does anybody do all their training in a lake and are you able to work on drills or just endurance?

In the summer, I do almost all my swimming in a small lake.  There are buoys in the water that I use as markers for shorter intervals.  There are two at one end of the lake that are almost exactly 200 yards apart which I use often.  If you don't have fixed waypoints you can also do time or number of strokes to approximate shorter intervals.

Stroke after stroke, my pace was pulling me out into the middle of the lake quickly. The cover seemed to be getting thicker. But still in the distance, the little boathouse was my lighthouse.

Some are getting a little OWS practice in, others are strategizing, the rest are just plain scared.
