I working toward a long distance goal/dream a few years down the line and as an intermediate step this summer I am increasing my open water competition swims. I have recently moved into the midwest and as a way to get my family involved in my swimmming travels, and learn the area, I thought I would try to get a swim in each of the Great Lakes this summer. I know of a few but was wondering if if hitting all five lakes is a possibility.
Thanks for any help or direction.
That sounds lovely! Would you mind sharing the ones you have discovered? I know only of the Big Shoulders event, in Chicago. I believe someone on this bb mentioned getting permission to swim the Mackinac (sp?) Strait next summer.

P.S.: Looks like "markm" from this board is going to try the Straits next year. Some other ideas are on the favorite OW swimming events thread.
