Hi all,
I need some advice on where to find complete trainings for a 36km open water course.
We are a group of 4 swimmers (25~34 years old), and we are planning to cross the Rio de la Plata River, from Colonia (Uruguay) to Buenos Aires (Argentina) next feb/2004.
In average, we are swimming between 20/30kms a week, always in closed pools. It's too cold to jump into the sea yet...
Any tips, help or links will be highly appreciated.
thanks in advance.

Thanks for your quick answer and advice.
Here there are more details about our swim
>each swimmer will swim the entire distance (36km)
>we are planning to swim 30 minutes rest 2~5 (for water and food)
>the weather is expected to be nice (FEB, end of summer), with an average temperature of 28 degrees (C), waves or heavy currents not expected.
>we have 4 month
>About our expirience and swim conditions, our latest times are, for a 30 minutes swim, between 2000mts and 2350 mts (indoor)
We don't have any open water experience, and we are worried about achieving our goal.
We are already looking for a copy (Open Water Swimming), but may take long to get it.
Any further advice will be highly appreciated.
thanks once again
