Lake Bagging — the waters of the world are challenging you
Lake Bagging (also spelled lakebagging) is an up-and-coming sport where participants seek to visit (or swim in) as many lakes or ponds within a given area as possible. 
Lake Bagging is usually focused around lists of lakes meeting certain criteria, with the goal being to visit all lakes on the given list.
Example lists might be:
- All named lakes in Washington’s Alpine Lakes Wilderness
- The 100 largest freshwater lakes in the world
- All reservoirs in France
Lake Bagging is inspired by other geographical challenges such as peakbagging, countrybagging, degree confluence hunting.
