What can you guys tell me about this swim. 7.5 miles. I will be travelling about 7 hours so I don't have the luxury of going and checking it out. I will be doing all my training in a pool, which is unfortunate. the lakes won't get above 50 untill may. What kind of yardage should i be looking at? thanks all.

    My daughter swam this race last year, as a lead up to her swimming the Channel. Weather was so bad they moved the swim to an inland lake. Undaunted a few of the swimmers (my daughter included) had one of the bigger boats escort them to a point part way thru the race and back. This swim lead to the utterance of "You know, if you die.....you die." from a worried race official, not sanctioning the swim. LOL
