Hi: Several of us in my Master's club are planning to compete in the 4.4 mile Chesapeake Bay Bridge swim next June. We're seeking suggestions for a good training program that will take us from the 3,000 we swim three mornings a week to the distance and time we need to complete this event successfully. Any and all suggestions will be welcome! Mills

    The Bay Swim is probably one of the easiest to navigate because you swim between the spans - pretty hard to get lost. And with 100 rescue boats around, they'll let you know real fast. The only buoys of any repute are at the mile posts. So the pressure's off on one item, relax and concentrate on finishing at an enjoyable (and hopefully rapid) pace so you can join the ranks of those that have been doing it for 10 years or more straight.
