GD!  My two favorite open water swimming venues were rated poorly.  It seems like I post this every year with the same amount of surprise.  Seriously, though, GD!  Even Capitola was on the list. 

Didn't seem like they tested RWS Lagoon, but that's a confirmed $hithole toilet.  Right Art? LOL.

Anyways, if anyone has any ideas where a bro can do some open water swimming without running into brown trouts or great whites, hit me up.

No. 1 on the Top Ten "Bummer List" was the wharf at Cowell Beach, Santa Cruz County, one of only three Northern California locations on a bummer list dominated by seven Southern California beaches.

Other poor performers were Candlestick Point at Windsurfer Circle and Sunnydale Cove in San Francisco, Aquatic Park and Lakeshore Park in San Mateo County, and Keller Beach in Point Richmond.
