My husband and I had our first swim at Klineline last night. We did our first triathlon - Midsummer at Blue Lake and both had a difficult time on the swim. Last night was our first open water swim (other than the triathlon). I was very scared about it, so we spent our time in the "pen" - the roped off area - and had a great swim. I wanted to say thank you to the other swimmers who were there last night. It was inspiring and comforting to see others out there. Someday I plan to be able to swim laps with the grown ups....for now, its the pen for me!

See you on Tuesday nights!!

Glad you enjoyed the "Pond". There are usually folks swimming on Thursdays too. Kinda the last licks before a weekend event. Portland Tri Club has taken to swimming in the Willamette if Riverkeepers say it's safe. They will use Klineline as an alternate on Thursday nights.

Maybe some of us will catch up with you some Tuesday or Thursday.
