Swim #17: Lake Cochituate, Natick, MA

August 14, 2010 -- While I wouldn't recommend the Natick beachfront as a paradise for distance swimmers, it is a great family place.  We went with good friends Ilona and Alex.  I swam along the rope after ascertaining from the lifeguards that I really couldn't duck under the rope.  Lake Cochituate is gigantic -- I remember sailing here with friends in high school.
