You should come to the SCY State meet at the end of March. It should be a good one indeed.
BTW, Saguaro Lake and Lake Pleasant have excellent water quality. I've gone to both many times for boating, jetskiing, and wakeboarding; they are great venues for open water swims.
For the rest of you reading this thread, AZ is a great place to swim. Come on out sometime when it's cold in your part of the country...
I'd like to, Doug, but I'm still thinking Depression and stashing my spare money in the mattress (I'm up to $4.75 and some loose change at the moment). Hopefully, in the fall for one of the SCM shindigs.
I'm hoping to do better raising money panhandling on the streets of Denver this spring and summer.
