Subject: RE: Swimming in Lake Ontario?Marcia, I have been racing for about 9 years, and have done the Niagara tri 3 times (the swim is in Lake Ontario on the shores of Grimsby). From this experience I know that the conditions in the lake are unpredictable and usually COLD. For the Toronto race, please wear a full wetsuit - especially if you are new to this race. A wetsuit will not only give you the termal protection you need, but will make you more buoyant in the water. This adds to your overall confidence and safety during the swim. All the best during your training, and I hope we will somehow meet up in August! Dave |
