What pool swimmers are missing

No lanes, no lines, no walls someone once said. Well another weekend of Lake Michigan Swimming is upon me and here is what I get to start my day with, a glorious sunny morning, swimming buddies and beautiful water. This picture was taken a few feet underwater 200 yards off Tower Beach Park, Winnetka, IL where we often swim. So clear you can see 20 - 30 feet down with ease.
