Hey all,
I know they hold a couple of tri's in the area that include a Schuylkill swim. After one of them, I was talking to a guy who participated, and he said he often did practice swims in the Schuylkill on his own.
I can't see myself doing that--not ready to assume the risks of swimming alone in that river--but are there ever organized swims outside of the triathlons?
I'm not interested in doing the tri's (the bike part never interested me, and I have a gimpy foot so can't run), but I think it would be cool to just do the swim portion of a tri (although I'm not fast enough for a team to see me as an asset if they want to be competitive)--even better if they'd ever have stand-alone o.w. swims, since the location is so convenient for me.
Has anyone gotten word of stand-alone swims in the works?
If you don't find anything, you can try the 1st annual Steelman Swim in Quakertown, PA. 1.5 and 3- mile lake swim on 7/12/09. Not too far from Philly. (I'm coming from MD)

Darn,That would have sounded like fun but I have a USA-S meet in Ephrata on Sunday. I might do the one on the Atlantic City one on the 27th of June. I didn't even see this on my local LMSC website and they have more OW listings than the phone book.
