I thought I read somewhere that the mens and womens 10k swims in Beijing will be held in the Shunyi Olympic Rowing-Canoeing Park, but lost my source. Can anyone confirm this?
Also, does anyone have any thoughts about this type of venue? Can this be considered an open water swim or simply a long distance swim?
Thanks,

Thanks for all the info. I consider myself an experienced open water swimmer, but I feel way behind on knowledge of typical FINA 10k race formats. Maybe we'll see more of this type of race in the U.S. after the Olympics. I have to admit, however, that I prefer to race in waters with more variables: wind, waves, currents, flotsam and jetsam, etc.
