Opinions vary on how to answer the "What am I stepping in at the bottom of this lake?" question.
It's hard to say exactly what's at the bottom of Pondering Lake. It's also hard to know what to say when a visitor asks. Some, Like Veronica Jenner, recommend keeping it simple. " 'Mud' is all you need to say," she insists. "Unless you want to get some uncomfortable looks, and maybe scare them off swimming altogether." But others, like Jerry Marks, take a more thorough approach. "What I love about lake swimming is being a part of the whole 'circle of life.' So I prefer not to hold back. Mud, sticks, worms, rotting plant life, fish poop... I once got a little fish head stuck between my toes. Now that's lake swimming!"
