Thanks Alan and Bob for the comments. You're starting to see why I want to live down there :)
The water in that lake is crystal clear and a real pleasure to swim in but a little chilly. There's a rather brave swimming club who regularly swim in the lake year-round. It's the second-best swimming spot I've encountered, after Emily Bay on Norfolk Island. I'd also like to try rowing but would probably tip out of a race boat. Closest I've come is using a rowing machine at the gym (usually as a warmup before a strength routine). I think I'd prefer kayaking because you can see where you're going! BTW I don't think they race on Lake Wanaka. The big racing venue in the South Island is on Lake Ruataniwha which is close to Twizel.
