This is a video showing my swim spot, the two buoys I circumnavigate each day with a belly board, and the headstone in the rocks where I put in. Juneway Terrace Park Chicago/Evanston, Illinois border. After the mile and a half (guesstimate) circuit, I freestyle swim closer to the shore for about 20 minutes. Usually spend an hour each morning. It's very helpful to me, for stress and fitness. I'm losing weight and attempting to rehabilitate a nerve and spine issue. It's extremely painful, the nerve damage, which may have multiple causes. Not sure but I am getting better at swimming at least.
