I came across this interesting article. It lists the top 50 OW swims in the US. (It will also have a top 50 list for the world). Here's the link:
Top 50 OW Swims
To the left of the article you can vote for your top 3 favorite swims! :wiggle:

Interesting, only done a couple, but I'd argue strongly against Pacific Open Water Challenge (a second year race in oily tasting water that got the mile course wrong by almost double - see my other thread) as #9.
Did it this past weekend, it's a fine event, but top 10? or even 50, given all the great OW swims in the country. I do note that the author presented a swim clinic for this race, so he might have some affinity for it.
