swim buddies - Jordan Lake

It's a place off Big Wood road, off of Hwy 64.

Go about 4-5 miles and on your right you will see a clearing, gravel and dirt, on the side of the road.  Find the dirt path/trail that leads down to the lake, there is a small beach area and folks used to meet there to swim.  But now I think most are meeting at Ebeneezer park/beach to swim.

Does it have to be Jordan Lake for you?   I know of several organised groups that go out every week on Falls Lake.

JollyRoger,

It doesn't have to be Jordan Lake for me, but as I live a few miles from there, JL would be the best.  Falls lake is approx an hours drive for me.

Does "b" look like the place?

Walkabout,

I am in after the next couple weeks.  I am doing Try the Quay and Rex.  After that I want to start doing OWS in preparation for the Wilmington Sprint.

There is also a group that swims on Sundays at Beaverdam Lake, upper end of Falls Lake.  we start the swim at 5:00pm, then run in the park, then have a big cookout.  You bring your food, I bring kayaks and charcoal.  Check out our group Facebook page by searching for Beaverdam OW Swim/Track/Triathlon Training Group.  We have swimmers of all abilities and generally swim from 20 minutes to 2 hours, it all depends on whos shows up and how far they want to go.  The group usually organizes in the grass between the boat ramp and the swim beach.

I would potentially be interested.  My calendar is filling up with tri obligations (group rides and runs, etc.) but I would join as I can.  And I live in Apex not too far away.

BTW, I'm new to the area, is OWS in Jordan Lake allowed or does it have to be done covertly?

Hello!

I would be interested in trying this before the Lake Royale Tri on Oct. 1st. Anyone have a swim scheduled in Lake Jordan?

I think I can swim on Friday the 26th, and would look forward to it!
