I posted the following as part of a response in another thread, but that thread appears to have moved on to a different topic. So, I'm posting the information and question here, along with a poll.
We've heard a lot of discussion recently about a cover photo a few people on the forums don't like, but it would also be helpful to hear what people like.
USMS has published just eight issues since starting the magazine, and partial contents from back issues of the magazine may be found at:
www.usmsswimmer.com
So, what's your favorite cover?
By the way, the magazine staff receives and reviews ideas all year round. In addition, USMS has one big annual planning meeting each June to plan the following year's editorial calendar. SWIMMER receives a lot of completed manuscripts, but an outline or short synopsis is preferred. Writers who wish to be considered for future assignments are invited to send a published writing sample.
If you have ideas, thoughts, suggestions, or Letters to the Editor, please send them to:

I of course had to vote for open water as it is a Barb Harris photo and I believe the swimmer is Jenny Marine and Elk Lake is one of my all time favorite open water events/locations.
