That's not a turtle, it's a ladybug.

Just kidding. The turtle is a Yellow-Bellied Slider, very common. It's a hatchling; they get much bigger and lose the green coloration on the shell. When you see a turtle swimming on the surface of the lake, chances are it's a slider. (Softshell turtles are also fairly common in the lake, and you'll see them swimming, too; Mud and musk turtles are abundant, but they usually stay in the shallows; when they are in deeper water they crawl along the bottom rather than swimming at the surface.)
