Hopefully the lake in Oliver is gonna warmer than the 9 °C sasamat is now.Paul says the lake is down to 11C today but with temps in the 20's all week, that should help. it doesn't take long for it to warm up. |

just curious,,,, is the lake temp posted/updated somewhere online, or are folks going out there to take its temp in person? Also would like to know if anyone has temp. info on Whonnock Lake??? Someone (Steve??) mentioned it was local to him/her.....

just curious,,,, is the lake temp posted/updated somewhere online, or are folks going out there to take its temp in person? I was lucky enough to stumble upon a fishing report, through searching google, (Sasamat Lake Fishing Report) that was posted on April 26, 2011. Edited by Lukasz 2011-05-16 5:24 PM |

| Member 92 Vancouver, British Columbia | Subject: RE: Sasamat swim? I was thinking of trying Whonnock Lake over the upcoming weekend as I live 5 minutes away from it. No idea on the temp in the lake at the moment, but I need to get a couple of open water swims in before Oliver HIM. Hope the weather holds out and it warms the water!

| Member 80 Coquitlam | Subject: RE: Sasamat swim? Ok, I hate to do this but right now I'm in Kona and have been doing my daily swims at the pier in preparation for my HIM next Saturday. The only downside is that there has been 2 shark attacks (surf boards chomped, no one eaten) in the past week at Lyman's Beach. So swim in cold water with tiny fish or warm tropical water with man eaters? It's a toss up. |

| Extreme Veteran 394 North Vancouver, British Columbia | Subject: RE: Sasamat swim? Ok last night the North Shore Cable Men, Dan, Marek and myself swam our first open water swim at Sasamat Lake from the beach to the canoes and back. Marek is racing in Idaho soon so we couldn't wait. It was nice and warm. |

| Extreme Veteran 394 North Vancouver, British Columbia | Subject: RE: Sasamat swim? Dan and Merick both wore a regular swim cap, goggles and wet suit. I wore a neoprene cap, paddles and flippers because I'm smarter than they are: Ha Ha! You can warm up after the swim is done. We are going again Monday after work. I'll be swimming mostly at Batchelor Bay in West Vancouver this year with the tri-club and my own crew. Here's a link I found: http://meyrickjones.blogspot.com/2009/07/open-water-swimming-batchelor-bay.html I'll check that out soon. |
