Short Course Meters
At Mona Plummer pool ASU
Just finalized the dates...working on adding in a few twists like a 4k, a coaches challenge, etc.
Also, looking into negotiating some things like discounted golf, zoo tickets, etc. for folks that may be bringing along family that would prefer not to hang out at a pool all weekend.
People swim in Tempe town lake?
Yup, and live to tell about it.
That said, the water at Lake Pleasant is much better and a more natural (for AZ) location for an open water swim. The 2k we had there in June went well, the location was perfect, the water temp was 74F, and the swimmers all had a good time.
Saguaro Lake is good too, although they get a lot more boat traffic in the area where the swim leg will be. The whole area between Boat Ramp #2 and Butcher Jones is a madhouse most of the time.
Tempe Town Lake does have the virtue of being in downtown Tempe. This makes it easy to get to and from the airport and is smack dab in the middle of it all. At the end of the year, the light rail system will have a top by Town Lake.
The water is...murky, yet safe to swim in. The City of Tempe tests it all the time to make sure it is OK to swim in. There are a bunch of triathlons that take place at Town Lake in addition to the open water swims. My guess is that you will leave the water with the same number of appendages that you started with.
See you in November?
