For those of you that have never swam at Redwood Shores, imagine swimming in water comprised of bay water, decaying plants, fuel, and duck poo which not only gives it it's distinct flavor but it also makes the water hue of green that can be best described as spit pea soup. We swim there because it's safe, it's not freezing, and it's free. Those of us training for Louisville and won't be able to use a wetsuit in our event due to the heat have been frequenting RWS to swim suitless. The actual act of swimming is no different than anywhere else but it's after the swim when you need to take extra steps before you are ready to re-enter society for obvious reasons. Anyone who has ever swam at RWS has at least once asked themselves "how nice would it be to have a shower in this parking lot right now..."
BEHOLD!!!!!
