As I walked up to the beach people were already running into the lake. I glanced at my watch. It wasn't quite noon. They had started early. Quickly I stripped down to my swim trunks. The water was warmer than last year, about 43F (6C). The air temperature was just a little lower with a breeze out of the south. I didn't stay in long, just long enough to do one dive.
This is a free, annual event. Here are the rules:
1. Swimsuits only, no nudity (it's a family event) and no wetsuits (that's cheating).
2. Swimmers must go all the way under the water before coming out to be "official."
3. No whining!
The water's cold,
But if you're bold,
You're in it
Less than a minute.
