Chris Greene and other cable swims

Chris or Jeff, Do you know if it is possible to swim the course on Friday afternoon? Or do people have to wait until Saturday morning?

I just sent an email to the race director (Dave Holland) asking your question. I'll let you know what he says. Thanks Chris!

Here was the response. Sounds like a warning at hotel pools "swim at your own risk" Thanks for getting the information.

Nice blog post on CGL: owswimrva.wordpress.com/.../ Entry deadline is July 4.

I want to say THANK YOU to Chris S., Dave H. and all the volunteers that worked hard to make the Chris Greene swim a wonderful event. This was my first cable swim(or any open water for that matter) The group had tons of safety volunteers, plenty of food to snake on and smiles to go around. While I am not a big fan of open water, this event is one that I am planning on doing again. The event is well run. And, if you see Chris S. at his next meet, please remind to to "turn" at the halfway point in the race. :-)
