OK all jokes about growing an extra limb or coming out cooked. Will I have to worry about the water in the Hudson north of the Tappan Zee Bridge?
Do any OW swimmer take any meds to prevent any sicknesses. I don't plan to drink the water...

Just did a training swim at Sandy Point State Park, which is a "beach" on the west end of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge. More like a sand-colored gravel pit leading to my favorite body of water/diesel/unidentifiable muck, but whatever. :D Anyway, had VERY good experience using Zofran beforehand - had my usual bout of retching I always have in salt water, but acclimated REALLY FAST and had no more problems the rest of my swim (unless you count the jellyfish sting near the end of my last interval). This is a big improvement over what I'm accustomed to in swimming in salt water. (I just made sure I piloted the Zofran in the pool first to make sure it didn't make me dizzy!)
