In a perfect world, what off shore, ocean, lake, river or bay swims would you like to participate in? San Francisco swimmers have San Francisco Bay, Chicago swimmers have Lake Michigan....etc My question is, does anyone else out there dream of swimming their local bodies of water, and if so, what events would you like to swim in? Everytime I drive past the Ohio river, I think how neat it would be to swim in a Ohio River swim.

Sometimes the Ohio River looks so pretty. but, the bacteria levels in the water are a major health hazard. The levels are often so high that the local news will launch warnings not to touch the water (especially during warmer months with boating, etc). This is a sad reality. But, if that weren't the case, it would be awesome to do a bridge to bridge swim in cincinnati.
Also, eastfork lake in this area is beautiful--but I don't really know if there are in fact races/swims there or not. But that would be awesome!!!
