@paul This is a course design courtesy of Nigel Talamo which as can be seen is not simply a set of straight wires (which can bow under lateral pressure). Rather there are a series of spacers and tethers which introduce elements of triangulation into the structure without vastly increasing the amount of stainless cable required. This could be further modified especially in the middle of the course if required.

@paul This is an example of possible cross tethering using inverted Vs to provide some lateral stability. Additional inverted Vs could be added along the length of the course. Note that any adjustment for varying lake depths would best be done at the buoy tethers since adjusting the inverted Vs could be more difficult. If the underwater course structure is made quite buoyant, then that would keep the tension on the inverted V wires quite high and thus provide more stability.
