Does anyone know any organized Galveston or Corpus ocean swims? I'm trying to prepare for IM Florida and have never swam in the ocean! Thanks

    If my oldest sister didn't live in League City, I would live in Galveston. Unfortunately, I have to live far from her so that I can still love her. I've swam in Galveston Bay since the early 70s. It is much cleaner now than it was in the mif-70s to mid-80s.

I just remember in the early 90's playing football on the sand. You would fall, get up and be covered in tar. It was nasty. I love Galveston, great town with a really great history to it. I really wonder what it would be like if the hurricane in the early 1900's hadn't destroyed it. I guess we can't blame that one on Bush, but I am sure some Blog out there in cyberland has tried!
