Member  43 |  Subject: ILRA Water temp?Anyone been out to Island Lake Rec Area for a swim recently? I was thinking about trying to get 1 or 2 last open water swims in before it gets too cold. I was just wondering what the water temp has been like. I have a wet suit, but even that has its limits. |

My guess is high 60s, especially if you're just buoy chasing in the shallow area in Kent Lake. And as of last week, there are no buoys to chase. I guess they removed them for the year. That's a sure sign of fall! I swam a week ago Tuesday and it still felt like bathwater but that was the 95 degree day. I'd guess it's dropped at least 15 degrees since then, maybe more. |

I heard KL had some injuries going in. Was she able to do it? |

Master 1390 Ferndale, MI | Subject: RE: ILRA Water temp? Jason isn't lying. We double capped our heads in anticipation of cold water, walked into the water and removed a cap. For sure mid 60's right now, at least. Also, I think I figured out that ear plugs help me in cold water! Big huge thanks to you, Jason, for meeting me out there. It was a short swim but it eased my mind A LOT! |

It was a short swim but it eased my mind A LOT! I've been using earplugs forever Kimm! Helps with feeling dizzy after being swimming, then standing up and running into t1, and definatly with the cold water in your ears. I used to get dizzy after swimming in sprints! (don't know if what I had was vertigo...) So glad it helped!!! PS...HI! |
