Hi there,
I am seriously considering the Bermuda 10K this October and am wondering if anyone has gone there with their child. I have a seven-year-old who LOVES the St. Croix swim I've done the last several years. I am having trouble finding accommodations for the Bermuda swim that are under 400+ a night, and am wondering about the quality of Beaches, ease in traveling around with a child when you can't rent a car, etc.etc. It seems a very expensive island, which is okay if you find the right place to stay, but I am having trouble wrapping my head around it all.
I would love to do the swim, but was alarmed when I read things about the Grotto Bay not having a great beach, and being across the street from the airport. Any advice from anyone who's done it? (We also looked at 9 Beaches, which sounded great initially, but I'm not keen on being across the harbor from the smell of slaughterhouse.)
Any comments welcome.
Thanks!

Hi! I have done the St. Croix swim 2x, and the Bermuda swim this past 2007. Loved them both as well! I have 3 children, and the Grotto Bay has a very fine beach for a 7 year old. If you feel comfortable driving a moped scooter around (which is great fun !!), your son will love riding along holding on to you. That way you can go to some other beaches on Bermuda island as an option.
