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....
It is a cute little lake, but don't drink too much Gatorade! We usually stop at the Starbucks to use the bathroom before the race. It would be a nice race if the facilities were better. The organizers should make sure there are port a johns. People were not happy last year.
Hopefully this year they'll check on the bathrooms. Will you be there this year????
