Who Willingly Jumps Into A Mountain Lake When It’s 45 Degrees Outside?

A few dozen Tuolumne County Aquatics Masters (TCAM) swimmers (and a certain photographer). That's who.

Congratulations to all swimmers who participated in the 1-mile open water swim this past weekend at Pinecrest Lake. This High Sierra lake is located NE of Sonora, California, at an elevation of +/-6000 feet. The event could not have happened without the many volunteers and supportive family members who assisted with registration, set up, safety and kayak support, clean up, etc. Many first-time open water swimmers braved the cold weather and intimidating surroundings – so – here's a special shout out to you folks!
