i know this was asked before, but what are the good swimming places in the area? i know there's the tufts pool, but what with it being gorgeous (finally) out, i'd like to go somewheres outdoors. also, does anyone know what the water quality in the upper mystic lake is like these days? thanks.

Nevertheless, the state does operate Sandy Beach which is at the Winchester end of the Upper Mystic Lake, off Mystic Valley Parkway. I'm not sure when lifeguard service starts there this summer.

The state also operates an outdoor pool at Russell Field, which is at the end of Rindge Avenue in North Cambridge. Again I'm not sure when this opens for the summer.
