I need to check on the rules again, but I may not be able to swim at all for a couple weeks, since I know our Rec center has rules against swimming during/after skin infections or illness in general. Sigh. It would be hard to deny it with a big ol' red lump on my calf..
Rather uncomfortable sounds modest.

It sounds like others who were in the race who also feel like the water was icky and not appropriate for swimming should email these guys and let them know. Last year I did an Olympic distance race in a lake that was then found to have unacceptable levels of bacteria in it, and I recall afterward feeling really icky, more than normal. I assumed it was due to the heat, but I really don't think so. I like the race otherwise, but, seriously gross.
