I wanted to start training for a 3 mile swim across the Hudson for MS in September. i have never done anything like this before. I thought this would be a great goal to work towards and it is for a good cause. Could you share any advice on training? I was thinking of finding a shorter open water swim. Does anyone know of any on Long Island? I did join a swim group and so far that is great! It has helped strengthen my skills. Thank you!!!!

  • I met Mike, and a few other swimmers who we both tried to convice to participate in USMS meets. Swim as Mike described, I probably did closer to 4 miles with all the misdirection, choppy water and wind. It was a good day out though, and I'll be trying to do it again next year. Congrats, Rich! Now you're totally a Distance Dude! :wine:
