Teresa...glad you posted this...i should have read this in advance.

I can speak on how this feels from the swimming side after two long exhausting swims Friday due to simple mistakes and inexperience. The swims were terrifying, very fast for low levels, and brutal on my entire body. I am very fortunate I had n incredible local guide who managed to find me an eddy after a particularly rough 2nd swim that has bruises up and down my legs, a big toe injury, and plenty of anxiety about getting back in my kayak.

Though I know this isnt a hard stretch for experienced kayakers, I would advise that the speed, lack of swimming outlets, and boulders everywhere makes for a very dangerous swim. Had I been knocked out when I was sent backwards going over a boulder, I would have ended up likely in the accidents page due to the very rough portage areas.

Be safe...
