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.

I am new to both open water and long distance swimming. The Pensacola 3 mile bridge swim appealed to me, but I wanted to know if someone could give me an average result time, how long it takes the "middle of the pack" to finish a swim like this one, so I would have a better idea of my capabilities ( As lame as it sounds.. I don't want to be the last one out of the water). Also, there is no open-water swimming locations where I live. I have been using some of the tips on forums such as closing my eyes in the pool and focusing on different objects in my surroundings when I breathe, but ultimately do you think it would be ill-advised to go straight from pool swimming to the 3 mile race?
