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!

Freestyle,
I'd recommend staying at one of Maho bay camps on St. John. Your swimming options from there are great, and when you get bored with the immediate surroundings, you can take a day sail to the BVI. I've done this probably six times in the past 10 years.
Another option: if you have a group of 8 or more swimmers, we put together custom trips aboard a 65' yacht at SwimVacation.
Whatever you decide to do, it's tough to go really wrong with swimming trips to the Virgin Islands.
