Subject: Anyone swam at Ohio Street yet?
Just wondering if anyone has been down in the lake yet? I was watching the wgn weather recap on CLTV last night, and the the guy (not skilling, the other one, Jim Ramsey I think his name is) said the water temp today was supposed to be 68, but then the park district website that reports the lake temp and conditions everyday said it's only 58, and that seems really cold to me.

Thoughts?

I have a sleevless full length wetsuit, and I am kind of a wuss so 58 sounds really cold to me!
Going to just do my swim workout in the pool tonight I think.

I was actually there on Sunday and it's closer to 70 than 60 for sure. With a wetsuit you can't go wrong.

Nice...thank you so much for the tip!
I biked/ran on Saturday morning, and saw all the people in there, but wasn't sure if those were just die hards who are crazy enough to go in there, but if it's closer to 70, than I can take that!

Happy Training!!
