Gina - I agree with Jack for Bay are swimming the South End Rowing club is pretty much 
the best option around and they do have weekend swims (just not every weekend).

Jack - the temp of Berryessa is 51 - my guess is natomas is a touch colder. I have to be 
at Natoma next teusday for work - any chance you could join me for a very brief swim? 
(we could run after or before)

to keep up with it, I made it my goal to swim the Tiburon Mile.

wondering if there were any other regular weekend ocean swims (other than Water World 
Swim) in the area (I live in Oakland). As much as I'd love to do SwimArt or Dolphin Club, 
the swims seem to only be on week days, which I can't do because of work.
