Saturday Morning Lake Swim
Saturday morning, August 31, the PHS girls will swim in Lake Michigan. Meet at PHS at 7am. The beach to the right is Ohio Street Beach and is also known as Olive Park. The one mile swim starts from the beach and goes north (to the left in the photo) along Lake Shore Drive. Boats are not allowed in this area and the typical depth is 4 feet. It's a beautiful place to swim.
