Lake Memphremagog has been such an important part of my life at so many different stages that it's hard to summarize just how much it means to me and my family. It's where we learned to swim and to sail; it provides us with water; it provided (and still provides) countless hours of adventure and fun; it cools us down during summer heat waves and it tests our nerves when we take those early-season swims; it gave us a way to get around and visit friends when we were too young to drive and it's where my parents still swim first thing every morning, from June until September.
