https://community.usms.org/swimming/f/open-water-training-and-technique/24700/tribal-2-4-mile-swim-at-tempe-town-lakeOne 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: en-USTelligent Community 12https://community.usms.org/thread/264600?ContentTypeID=1Thu, 20 Nov 2008 07:21:28 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:4ec3f3bd-17c3-47c6-aa04-976b21146919cyclistIt would be sweet if there would have been more publicity (besides this forum) about this event so I would have known it was happening and could swim it.<div style="clear:both;"></div>https://community.usms.org/thread/264575?ContentTypeID=1Fri, 14 Nov 2008 10:56:00 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:d102bf34-ed97-4a8a-8651-a4b55bbf3f5bFormer MemberHey! That was a fun swim, thanks for putting it on. Was surprised how fast everyone went out at the start, but it was all good!<div style="clear:both;"></div>https://community.usms.org/thread/264573?ContentTypeID=1Wed, 12 Nov 2008 03:24:11 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:4767ffd1-3b52-46d0-8c1f-446d148d6c5aDoug AdamavichIn case anybody was wondering, Patrick Brundage was the first man out of the water. Way to go Patrick!<div style="clear:both;"></div>https://community.usms.org/thread/264568?ContentTypeID=1Wed, 08 Oct 2008 01:10:45 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:445fc373-579c-4fa4-bcde-f4123218df24Doug AdamavichCorrection, the USMS event will be 2.4 miles only. Sorry for the confusion, the USAT event will have both distances.<div style="clear:both;"></div>https://community.usms.org/thread/264562?ContentTypeID=1Wed, 03 Sep 2008 10:36:15 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:6a47c818-87f3-4115-8b9e-fd3af6d788e1Doug AdamavichI 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. See you in November?<div style="clear:both;"></div>https://community.usms.org/thread/264553?ContentTypeID=1Tue, 02 Sep 2008 11:27:11 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:5b3397ac-c3c0-4a25-a5c9-282641d808e9Doug AdamavichThank you very much for the update. I would love to tell the overseas open water swimming community about this event via www.10Kswimmer.com and www.10Kswim.com. I will be looking out for your updates and would love to post photos of the race(s) on these open water swimming-focused websites. Great, we would love to have non-AZ swimmers at this event. The lake is just a couple klicks from the airport, the jets fly right over the lake in fact. When the light rail starts running on December 29th, you won&#39;t even need a car from Sky Harbor to Downtown Tempe! Early November is also a nice time of year in Arizona. The water will still be comfortable and the sun will be out. Of course, people could stay an extra week and swim in the Ron Johnson Invitational too...<div style="clear:both;"></div>https://community.usms.org/thread/264528?ContentTypeID=1Fri, 29 Aug 2008 14:53:45 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:46fac38c-b7b8-4073-be4d-4cad3df73b0aFormer MemberThank you very much for the update.
