Went there today, it was really awesome. It's pretty quiet as the summer crowds aren't here yet, the water temp is probably about 77 F, totally a good time to go. Opens at 10 am. Just watch out for the sun, it's pretty strong. After an hour, I started to get a hint of red.

Funny, i was just checking my lap times and there must be some serious current in the pool, it was 8% faster swimming towards the city than away from it. Here are some sample lap times:

42.56 <- towards
46.23 <- away
43.69 <- towards
47.10 <- away
43.60 etc.
48.14
43.82
46.97
43.30
46.26
42.76
46.43

I felt the same thing swimming in Kits pool last week.  I realized it was the wind. Swimming west the water would be all choppy and then swimming east was faster.

One week til Open Water Swim Association starts up at kits beach!!!
