We have beginners to Ironmen swimming with us and it is coached and kayak supported. It is approx an 800 yd loop, it is $5 to get in (say you are with the triathlon group in case they want to charge $10) You may also want to post on 2 local tri boards if anyone is interested in joining. Our board will show details of the above swim at www.firsttri.org and you can post for a partner here or you can also post to www.houstonracing.com. Melissa<div style="clear:both;"></div>
