https://community.usms.org/swimming/f/open-water-training-and-technique/24468/nyc-area-swimsDoes anyone know of any OWS events around New York City. There are a few in the Hudson, but I would rather not swim in that river - I don&#39;t care how clean they claim it is. Anything on LI, in Jersey, not too far upstate, etc? Thanks.en-USTelligent Community 12https://community.usms.org/thread/262638?ContentTypeID=1Thu, 05 Jul 2007 02:15:53 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:7bdbfbfe-d057-4811-9f58-77a6d19d368cDCappThanks, very much. I do consider Brooklyn a &quot;NYC area.&quot; Unfortunately I will be away that weekend, but I may look into Cibbows in general. And I will check out the LMSC site as well.

I did it last year - very well organized, small group, nice people! :) <a href="http://www.cibbows.org/races/2007.html">www.cibbows.org/.../2007.html</a> RSJ<div style="clear:both;"></div>
