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!

Since we're on the subject and there seem to be alot of people who swam it, I need to ask a question.
I'm thinking about doing just the one mile Challenge next year. I've looked at their website and there's something that looks funny. It says for the one mile challenge that there were 455 entrants but only 350 finishers. Is this true? Over 100 people started but didn't finish? I could understand it for the 4.4 mile swim, but only a mile? Is there some hidden challenge in the 1 miler?
Any info would be helpful. Thanks!
I once entered then I couldn't do the swim. I didn't realize that it had so many nonfinishers. I've swam inthe water there not during a race. There is frequently some very weird currents that can take you off of the course. Or maybe this is the Bermuda Triangle of outdoor swimming.
