Just out of curiosity, why arn't there more open water swim events? There are only maybe 5 events within a few hours drive of where I live the entire year. With other sports like running races, however, there is a race every weekend. Why don't you think there are more open water meets? There are lakes everywhere!

I found one from the Y but it looks the open water swim already took place for 2008 and I couldn't see when. But here's the link: Louisville
You just missed the Huntington Mile and 5k Swim in Huntington, IN (near FOrt Wayne). Here's the websbsite: Huntington Mile.
There's also a swim near Indianapolis in Noblesville IN. It's a 25K (long) or 5k x 5k. But if they have this one, they might have more open water swims.
And as you know, there's the Lake Erie swim in July. I'll probably be in the area then so I'm going to try to do that one.
So you see, Amy, there are swims around. Sometimes it's just a matter of seeking them out. Good luck!
