It&#39;s a little over 9 miles and has individual swimmers as well as relays. A great event! It&#39;s the Saturday before Labor Day, so I think that&#39;s Sept. 4 in 2004. Then you can hop over for the Waikiki Roughwater on Labor day. Lots of fun, lots of swimmers and outstanding water. carl<div style="clear:both;"></div>https://community.usms.org/thread/260759?ContentTypeID=1Sun, 02 Nov 2003 10:08:59 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:5c93ec91-b729-4923-983e-6ac2a2650e75Former MemberFunny the reaction of my friends has been &quot;how about hawaii where the water is warm&quot; its worth thinking about!<div style="clear:both;"></div>
