One of the events that we are working on here in AZ is a USMS-sanctioned wave at the Tribal 2.4 Mile Swim at Tempe Town Lake. This event will be on November 9th and should draw a good amount of swimmers. Here is the info for the USA-Triathlon wave:

Once we have the sanction, there will be a sign-up section for USMS swimmers. This event drew just under 400 triathletes in April in preparation for Ironman AZ. It should be a good time.
There will be more information on this swim shortly but you open water folks may want to think about this event. Early November in Arizona is beautiful and the water is still relatively warm. Tempe Town Lake is in downtown Tempe and just a couple of miles from Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport. One week after this swim is the Ron Johnson Invitational SCM Meet at ASU, which is also in downtown Tempe. So give these events some thought for fall events.
See you in November!
I just saw this the other day on the DCB Adventures website (www.dcbadventures.com), there will be both a 2.4 mile AND a 1.2 mile swim at this event.
This means if you are not a hardcore distance person (ex. me) you can opt for the shorter distance.
This ought to be a fun event, in April there were 391 open water swimmers when it was a USA-Triathlon event.
