As an experienced long distance swimmer from The Netherlands, I would like to participate in one or two events during my vacation there.
Any distance 10k or under is fine. I prefer 3-5k. My Masters agegroup is 45+. I swim without a wet suit (of course). But low temperatures are not an issue above 15C.
My trip is: June 16, 17 and 18 in Washington DC and then untill July 5 I will be in Arizona (Flagstaff as starting point). I will have my own transportation.
Can anyone help me with one or two events (a bit in the vacinities) during that periond?

under Arizona (scroll down) indicates one can swim in the Colorado River.
A tedious business, but if you look under each state and check for a swimming group or even a meet, there will likely be a contact name, and that person may know what is available locally.
By the way, there is some gorgeous mountain climbing (Bergwanderung, man kann auch steigen) available in the area you will be traveling to.
Good luck!
