I am attending the Pan-Pacs next week and I would love to get in some swimming of my own. I know NOVA has a great program there for a pool possibility. Can anyone recommend good options for ocean swims? Is the Corona Del Mar State Beach as good as any? Thanks.

I swam with this group at Belmont while I was in Huntington Beach with my grandma for Mother's Day. They are FABULOUS, FUN, and they swim open water as well. It took me about 15 minutes to get to Belmont from HB in the morning, so Irvine would be a little further.

I've also trained with this group for a few days, just after USMS SC Nats last year. Mark is really cool, and they are a fun group as well!!! Newport Beach is MUCH closer to Irvine than is Long Beach.
