Subject: RE: Does Open Water Swims Make you Sick?Where I live it is much cooler and the lakes probably don't even get to 78. But a few years ago I did a sprint in Watauga Lake and the water was pretty gross. When I was running to T1 I thought "I hope I don't get sick." I'm not sure if I talked myself into it or if I picked up a bacteria, but I did get some mild intestinal distress. Maybe someone who knows something about the subject will chime in. I was just sharing a similar situation. jami |
