Lake Washington, Seattle, WA

I regularly swim in Lake Washington, either at Madrona Park Beach or Seward Park (Bailey Peninsula). The peninsula allows for a great 2.5-.8 mile loop. I started out swimming only 1/2 mile in the lake in the summer of 2019 and worked my way up to 2.5 - 2.8 miles by the end of that summer. It's been a real accomplishment for myself, proving myself that you can do anything you put your mind to if you want it bad enough (Mom's motto).

​

I've also swam across Lake Washington in a race (total of 2.5 miles).
