Keep in mind when swimming here in the summer months, swimmers itch is prevalent. While I’ve never actually gotten it myself, I have seen people that have. It’s not pretty. For me going to Sand Hollow is a blast and it’s still worth the risk, but what do I know. You can read more on swimmer’s itch here.
