LazyDaisy Aug 2021 4:32pm, 9 Aug 2021 33,977 posts	0 LazyDaisy Gorgeous pup! I don't normally mind how deep the water is but there's a 'hole' in Lake 32 which you swim over and seeing the ground drop away beneath you used to give me the collywobbles. If it had been that deep all the way round, it wouldn't have bothered me. It was the 'drop'. Weird.
TROSaracen Aug 2021 5:11pm, 9 Aug 2021 23,704 posts	0 TROSaracen Reservoir swims can be properly nasty. In the sea a big swell, as long as it’s predictable, is manageable. You just ride over the waves. Reservoirs don’t have huge swells but can have really nasty face slapping waves, too small for your whole body to ride, that mess with your breathing. A long swim in that is a proper challenge.
