I've finally got into the water over here in NL. Bloody hell swimming outside is addictive. The dutch, unsurprisingly,organise it fabulously (which means lots of maps, some work on hazards and water quality, but mainly ladders to get into nice bits of water and an attitude of 'of course you want to swim here,its lovely. We will do a bit to make it not extra dangerous, but it's the water, don't come crying to us if you drown and we won't say you are idiots for swimming'

Lots of people do seem to use swim buoys. Considering trying one.

I hadn't used one until West Reservoir mandated them for skins swimming. They can be annoying when the wind blows it towards you but they are handy for holding onto while you clear your goggles.

I think I'll get one. Not for goggles but for a nice little rest now and then :-) also really as a crutch. I'm more than capable of swimming across the lake but tend to stay within 100m of the edge.
