Satisfying swim on Monday

For the third year in a row, more than 40 people swam across Lake Waccamaw for Take the Lake, with 23 swimming in the X-TREME! on August 24, and 20 in the Labor Day Swim. A few people swam both days.

With a persistant breeze from the south, Brett Gore and his crew set the course to start at the dam and finish at Dale's - everyone's preferred route. Faced with the usual combination of dead calm to choppy waters, a few finished in less than three hours.

Winds picked up - although favorable from behind the swimmers - challenging the slower swimmers and pushing them east. Some had to make late westward adjustments back toward Dale's.
