One of the events that we are working on here in AZ is a USMS-sanctioned wave at the Tribal Open Water Swim at Tempe Town Lake. There will be two distances for this event this time around (2000M and 4000M) so you can pick your poison (distance) now. This event will be on November 9th and should draw a good amount of swimmers. Here is the info for the USA-Triathlon wave:

Once we have the sanction, there will be a sign-up section for USMS swimmers. This event drew just under 400 triathletes in April in preparation for Ironman AZ. It should be a good time.
There will be more information on this swim shortly but you open water folks may want to think about this event. Early November in Arizona is beautiful and the water is still relatively warm. Tempe Town Lake is in downtown Tempe and just a couple of miles from Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport. One week after this swim is the Ron Johnson Invitational SCM Meet at ASU, which is also in downtown Tempe. So give these events some thought for fall events.
See you in November!
This is a modified posting that I put in the Open Water section. Nothing like being redundant and saying the same thing and repeating yourself and making the same point and...
C'mon, Kurt. You're gonna let some triathlete out-sprint you at the start? I know you're a distance guy, but get a jump on them and do the kicking yourself.
It's not the start that you have to watch out for Kurt at...hitting the "beach" however is a different story and I still have facial lacerations and bruised ribs from my run in with Mr. Dickson at Lake Pleasant.
By the way, for anyone looking to get a 4k TT in and not so excited about a dive into Tempe town lake the Ron Johnson SCM meet is going to include one for the first time the weekend of 11/14-16:
