Julie - I actually live in the neighborhood so I know how great the water is! I found out there is a training swim this weekend - from Maho to Cinnamon. I'm going to try to do it if I can swing it. If I do, I'll let you know if I find out any tips or tricks.

I'll ask everyone there "are you watergrrl?" Should be a nice event. The water there is beautiful. Julie

oh, phew, I was reading your blog and had some serious concerns. You're doing real training! :) I'm not in your age group though, so we can help each other along! I plan on being there!

Thanks! They have fewer divisions, so I fall in the extreme upper end of the 35 - 49 grouping. Other groups are under 16, 17 - 34, and 50 +. Just kidding about don't beat me, of course! The more the merrier. The National Park there will benefit from our entry fees, and that is the main thing. It is fun training for it- I've been following the plan in Penny Dean's Open Water Swimming book.
