Morgan I have a swimP3 player and am disappointed. There is so much noise associated with swimming that the music is hard to hear. I LOVE my SwiMP3. I use Mack's silicone earplugs to block out the splashy noises so I can hear the music. I also accidently discovered that the speakers will stick to the earplugs. They're supposed to be on your cheekbones, which works fine, but you can hear even better when they're wedged into your earplugs. - Evan

Interesting question--I'm entering and hope to do the following: Around Alcatraz Huntington Beach Pier Race Tour of the Buoys La Jolla Roughwater Waikiki Roughwater Maui Channel Relay Around Key West Bermuda Sound Swim Santa Barbara 6 Mile TIburon Mile South End Alcatraz Swim. Newport Pier to Pier Seal Beach Corona Del Mar And some other local mid-week swims if I can. I'd like to do another New York swim but my schedule may not be as accomodating as it has been for the last several years--unfortunately. Hope for a busy summer.

I've never done open water races before (im more of a sprinter in any event) but I have been increasing my consecutive swim times to 2hours so, I am feeling the confidece bug. I am considering swimming in the lake george OW (esp. since theres a 500m) but I also hope to do some races over in NJ in the ocean. I'm not sure when they are, haven't yet looked into it, but I know they're there::family goes to the jersey shore every summer and they always have fliers and such for them... Try www.lmsports.com for some NJ races. I did the Swim for the Dolphins and the OC Masters Swims last year and they were a lot of fun. The Bridge to Bridge swim in AC was fun too. The September Splash is on the bay side, so it is calmer. Good luck. Maybe I will see you there. Swimmy :)

I'm definitely doing these: 1. Potomac River Swim 7.5 miles (6/2) 2. Lake Montclair, 1 and 2 miles (did the 2 mile last year, this year both) Possibly Reston, but that's only one week before the Potomac (5/27), so I'm not sure about that since it's a 3 hour drive. If I go, will probably do both the 1 and 2 mile swims, but not the championship. Any advice? The Jack King 1 mile at Virginia Beach if they have it this year. Haven't seen anything about it yet. Either the Rainbow Channel Challenge or the September Splash if I can arrange the time to travel.

And I'll probably enter a few races in the New York City area in the 2-3 mile range. My boyfriend started swimming recently, and I'm hoping that by the time September rolls around, he'll be ready to do the half-mile Cove to Cove swim in the Hudson together. (It's taking some convincing though. He still thinks I'm insane for even dipping a toe into that river.) cibbows.org/.../2007.html Grimaldo's Mile entry is now online!

Hi everyone. I've been lurking for a while, but I finally decided to sign up. I took a bit of an extended break from swimming last year, and I only just got back to regular practices in January, so I was a little scared when I got an e-mail confirming my entry into the Chesapeake Bay Swim. But so far, the training's going well. Here are the races that are definitely on my calendar so far: 5/19 USMS 5K Open Water Championship in Fort Myers, FL 5/27 1.5K Lady Liberty Swim, NYC (Hudson River) 6/10 4.4 mi Chesapeake Bay Swim I'd really, really like to do the Boston Light Swim in August, but I'm not going to commit until after I see how I feel at the Chesapeake Bay Swim. If not this year, then definitely the next. And I'll probably enter a few races in the New York City area in the 2-3 mile range. My boyfriend started swimming recently, and I'm hoping that by the time September rolls around, he'll be ready to do the half-mile Cove to Cove swim in the Hudson together.

One more if I can find a mid- late summer event within 400 miles of Indiana, for both Seniors and Age Groupers. Thinking Little Red lighthouse next year.

I will do 2 this summer. The rest are too far for me to travel to. Dierkes Lake Tri & 1 mi OW, Twin Falls, ID - I only do the mile unless I can find a team for the tri then I'll do both. Donner Lake Swim, Truckee, CA - 2.7 mi at an elevation of 5300+ feet. Fun(?) swim with a great party after.
