Subject: RE: Favorite Open Water Swim locations west of Torontomgalanter - 2009-07-08 1:57 PM Please share your favorite OWS location in the west end of the GTA.
Does Kelso park lake allow open water swimming? Any opinions on swimming in Christie Lake (Hamilton) or Lake Niapenco (Binbrook park - Hamilton)? Mark Although I haven't been there this year, I have done open water swimming at Kelso. It was pretty good. Lake Niapenco was nice from what I can remember from previous races. We tend to use Guelph Lake and Lake Whittaker, my favorite being Guelph. A bit far for a weekday swim but we often make a 'tri' day of it on weekends. You can cover the Guelph Lake AND Belwood cycling routes at the same time and a really TOUGH hilly route out towards Erin and Hillsburgh (8% grades ). |
