Hi -
I have completed a few 2.5-3 mile swims in open water and am interested in going further next year. What would you recommend if I'm interested in swimming a 5-10 mile organized lake swim in the US in '08? I'd be most interested in anything with water temps in the mid seventies or higher. Thanks so much for your advice!
Dave
If you really enjoy tropical open water swimming, you may want to consider Baja Expeditions' "Swimming Expeditions" www.bajaex.com/.../SwimmingExpedition.html.
They're not races per say but rather a 5-day string of twice-daily swims along craggy rocks and cliffs, past sandy beaches, through remote coves and from island to island down in La Paz Mexico. A 2 - 2.5 mile swim in the morning followed by a 1 mile afternoon swim or an alternative hike instead. They're doing two one-week trips this October.
Should be a blast!
