You can swim in the beach part of West Lake (although I don't know for how much longer), and you might be able to use Lake Kildeer up in DeWitt, I was in a race there not too long ago, not a huge lake, but it worked for the race. If you do find something, please let us know. |

Member 52 Bettendorf, Iowa | Subject: RE: Quad Cities - OWS Practice??? Thanks...yeah I've been out to West Lake but tomorrow is the last day it is open for the season. I may try the lake up near DeWitt. I really want to get some more training but want to be safe and legal. It's frustrating to not have a place to OSW. |

Just so you know if you check out Kildeer in Dewitt, it looks tiny...and it is. A lap around the outside of the lake is pretty much 500 yards, maybe 600 if you actually swam circles to the dock. I don't know if swimming is allowed there all the time, but it can't hurt to find out. |

Member 52 Bettendorf, Iowa | Subject: RE: Quad Cities - OWS Practice??? I went up there today....they have signs posted saying "no swimming." Geez, I geuss I'll just keep swimming laps in the pool and get my OWS experience with each event I do. I have a bit of a phobia in an OW environment and want to gain some routine experience to try to overcome it. |
