I swam the Great Chesapeake Bay 4.4 mile swim last month in Maryland. I swam the Save the Bay 1.7 mile swim in Newport, Rhode Island last weekend. Both were excellent open water events and I would highly recommend both events to all open water swimmers.
Now, I am looking for another open water event to put on my calendar for later this year or next year. Distance should be between 1.5 miles and less than 6 miles. I live in Winchester, Virginia but am willing to jump on a plane to almost anywhere in the United States if the swim is well organized and recommend by other open water swimmers. Any suggestions?
Thanks so much for your input....

Hi! I did the Bay Swim this year also :)
One of my favorite open water races here in VA is the Lake Montclair swim. They have a 1 & 2 mile swim and it's pretty low key though so if you're looking for a large race with lots of hype, this isn't that race. It's on September 8th and the entry form is here: www.pvmasters.org/entry.htm
Hope to see you there!
