(wind blowing) (waves washing up) - [Man] It takes like two minutes.

(waves washing) 34.9 That's what it's been like the last couple of weeks, it's been pretty steady.

(gentle music) - It's really enjoyable when you get out there and you look sometimes, look into shore.

It's just beautiful.

Especially like the winter and the fall landscapes are just beautiful.

You can look at some of the landmarks.

(gentle music) Nice to be outside.

And then when COVID hit last year we started swimming here all the time because the pools weren't available and still swim here more than we used to.

I do still do some swimming in the pools but they're not as accessible as they used to be.

So this is always here, you know weather and waves permitting.

(gentle music) - It's so invigorating.

It's just when I'm in the water and I'm in a comfortable body temperature, I don't want to get out.

(gentle music) This was an excellent way for me to keep swimming through COVID.

So it was a great way to maintain my fitness.

(gentle music) - [Eric] It stings on your face for a couple of minutes, and then it's okay.

But if you're suited up with proper equipment, it's you're going to be a little chilly for the first couple of minutes, and then you're comfortable.

- [Rachel] I think it is amazing.

I am so grateful to have this beautiful body of water here.
