The Pensacola 3 Mile Bridge Swim is April 22, 2007 and registration is now open on Active.com or www.pirateswimming.org/Pensac...ridgeSwim.html.
The course has changed to be closer to the bridge due to shoreline work and we are looking to having a great social afterwards. The awards are by overall top 10 + Top Male and Top Female. We will send out certificates to all swimmers with their race time.
This is a USAT sanctioned event and wetsuit legal if the water temp is under 78.

Why is an open water race being sanctioned by USAT and not USMS?
It is my understanding that USAT does not have the authority to issue sanctions for open water races, USA Swimming and USMS are the only national governing bodies that have this right.
My understanding is that USAT has a non-traditional category to sanctioned races. As to the matter if USMS and USA Swimming are the only ones that have the right, you need to talk with FINA and countries with their own swimming programs. If USMS wants improve it standing with triathletes with that attitude we are the only ones who can sanction any open water events need to do some research. I would have sanctioned this race this year with USMS, but not with that type of direction coming from the top.
