038.
One of my most interesting experiences was swimming in the Great Salt Lake. The lake covers an area larger than the state of Rhode Island. The surprising fact is that, although the lake is far from any ocean, and although it gets water from rivers which have so little salt that they actually taste sweet, the lake is about six times as salty as the ocean.
For a while I floated around, but soon I wanted to stand. Then, I was surprised. I couldn't stand on the ground! The salty water was very heavy and it was holding me up.
After swimming for a few minutes, I made my next mistake. I opened my eyes under water. I expected that I would feel a little pain when the water got into my eyes, but I wasn't prepared to have that kind of terrible pain. It was so painful that I couldn't keep my eyes open. Of course, that was the last time I tried to swim in the Great Salt Lake. After that experience, I understand why there are no fish in the Great Salt Lake. Fish can't close their eyes!
