I did it... and it felt good

Micheal Artindale said:

At the end of last summer I swam to an island in the lake near my home. It
is 1/2 km one way.

Today I did it again.

I started after the sun set, so that I would not be blinded by the sun. So
that I wouldn't loose the location that i entered, I used a flashing red
bike light at the shoreline.

I think I will do it at least once a week.

1. swimming alone in open water
2. swimming at night in open water
3. depending on a bike light for direction

Did you at least tell the youth where to look for your body?

1. swimming alone in open water

There were lots of people around on shore, just no one following me. There
was someone with a boat that had a motor on it that would come out if i went
under... even for a split second

There were no boats around to run me over.... I dont want a propeller to hit
me.

Actually, the bike light is so that once I got close enough I knew where to
get out. The street lights were what I used for direction.

Which youth are you talking about?

Are you trying to convince me or yourself?

Then don't swim at night in open water, where boats might go.

The ones who are smart enough not to swim alone in open water at
night.
