Hi Everybody,
I HAVE to do a 5k OWS before May 16, 2004 to qualify for a longer OWS in the summer. I will pretty much fly anywhere in the US... Suggestions?
Thanks

As far as I can understand it (and I could be wrong, I often am), the qualifying swim needs to be a certain temp and duration, with an observer documenting stroke rate, etc at intervals, who will sign off on the whole thing. Maybe you could just find a body of water of correct temp and someone nice to watch you and record conditions and sign the paper - I've known people to do it this way.
