Lake is Awesome. Temperature is warmer than I expected. Still takes your breath away initially, but felt really nice once I was warmed up. The weekend swims there have begun!

Yep a wetsuit. Don't need booties or anything though. It was really nice once I got used to it. Have a nice swim! Plan to head back again next weekend. There were already two other guys there when I arrived...I think they were actually swimming without their wetsuits on. But, I'm not that tough. haha.
