Anyone know what the temps are or am I crazy to think it's even close to swimmable?

I did a quick run around Trout lake after riding the mountain bike loop this afternoon. There were sunbathers, but no one was swimming or wading in the water. I dropped in a cheapo thermometer maybe about 8" deep along the shore & got a reading of about 55 F...not sure how much colder the middle of the lake would be right now.

I swam in Kent Lake on Sunday in a full wet suit and it felt fine. After a few minutes I wasn't cold anymore and I tend to get cold really easily. Another swimmer had a thermometer in and it read around 60. I'd say that's probably about right. My guess is a little closer to 65. Totally doable.

I swam Kent Lake last night without a wetsuit and had no issues whatsoever. This past week has probably really helped warm it up.
