Houston Area Swimming - 288 Lake

Well it's been just over a month since I've been in an OWS and today was a beautiful day down at 288 Lake. The water temps were perfect, the rain really cooled down the water, and it was a great day for swimming (minus the lack of swim fitness). There were several groups at the lake today including HRTC and Onurleft, and it seems like everybody is getting ready for Ironman Austin 70.3, Ironstar, or the Olympic coming up in Houston.

For anybody in the Houston area who has never been down to 288 Lake for a swim I highly recommend this facility. If you are new to the sport of triathlon there are always groups meeting up at the lake, so take advantage of swimming in a group setting. You can learn alot from others and most are willing to help out with advice. I would also suggest going to http://beginnertriathlete.com/ and trying to find a group in the Texas Section or going directly to 288 Lake's website 288lake or their facebook page 288Lake facebook
