My Pool

This is Canyon Lake, my new training pool. The photo is taken just above the outcropping of rock we use as a staging area. Its 70 yards to the tip of land sticking out into the water. For the first two weeks I swam from staging area to tip and the water just right of it. Just beyond the point is the right inlet buoy and far left the infamous left buoy which is about 100 yards from the tip of land. The right buoy is where I almost drown last month after swimming out to the far buoy.

This is tight shot of the back buoy, which I call the 'Rock' buoy since its a warning for a submerged rock. Yes I am quite clever. You can just make it out on the edge of the shadow in the middle of the picture. In between the two buoys is a bridge that we swim under. The rock buoy is further away from the bridge than the inlet buoy and when you swim into the canyon its a dog leg right. The picture is actually taken on the bridge way off the swim course so I could sight the actually buoy.
