As you can see from the schedule that we have planned to do a swimming activity on Friday morning. We originally thought that swimming in the great salt lake would be an experience that many have not done before and is out of the ordinary. It goes along with the theme of calling it the Hogwarts lake since it will be slimy.
However, we must consider that the water is very salty, salty enough to float in, and possible make your eyes burn. For a teenager or older this wouldn't be a problem because if your eyes get salty you just rinse them out but if we have little children playing they might not like it too much.
So lets all vote on it. Which one would you like to do? Swim in a normal pool or experience floating in a salty lake and playing on the beach.

This is what Utah's website says about swimming in the lake;
"Swimming and sunbathing are popular on the clean, white sand beaches at Antelope Island State Park. The salinity of the water averages about 12%, making it much saltier than the ocean. The water is so buoyant that people can easily float. Freshwater showers are available to rinse off after swimming."
how bout another lake?? jordanelle is close by, or strawberry resevoir? pools are dull ;)
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't be opposed to another lake. That sounds good. I'll check into it if there are enough people that don't want to do the salt lake.
ReplyDeletePools are happy things for little kids, especially when they have slides n' stuff. There's one in bountiful that has a pirate ship. :)
