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....

Swimmy,
After a summer of warming up (it was 90 here today), the lake temp is lower 70's or upper 60's. I've swum for many years and I've never had a problem with temp. There might be early, early morning showers on Saturday, but I'm sure it will be clear and calm by the time we start.
On a related note, the psych sheets are up right now at Big Shoulders!
See ya there!

I don't have an Alcatraz shirt to wear!!! :doh: (sounds like my wake-up call to swim it next year).
I guess I'll just have to wear one of my old Big Shoulders shirts. And my Fastskin. See ya'all there!
