We will meet at the Magnuson Beach Swimming Beach just south of the public bathrooms on the grassy area at 9:00 a.m.
Expect to go in and out of the cold lake water many, many times on this day. Immersion protection is required. Renting a dry suit is highly recommended. We will break in the middle of the day for a lunch break and for some dry time. A finish time can not be guaranteed but expect to be out for a full day. We will return upon finishing all of the skills intended to be covered.
Required Equipment
