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.

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 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.
