I'm vacationing to California on August 4 and I am staying until August 9. I will maily be in the Los Angelos area but I am willing to travel if I need to. I would really like to swim in an open water meet sometime during the week I am there. Does anyone have any info. on any open water swims? Also, I would just like to do some open water swimming while I am in California but I am not very experienced with ocean swimming. Is there any Masters who swim in the ocean who I could swim with? Thanks for all your help.

If you are willing to travel up the coast to Santa Barbara (1.5-2 hours north of Los Angeles), there is a weekly summer event hosted there called Nite Moves, that is both a 1K ocean swim and/or a 5K run. This event goes all summer long every Wednesday evening.
Here's the web link to the event:

I have done them in years past, but due to scheduling issues, cannot do any of them this summer. I can tell you from my past experiences that they are FUN, and of course, what could be better on a weekday eve than an ocean swim, some local music, food, setting sun with a gentle breeze, and as many as several hundred competitors?!
