Hi all,
Any mid-Atlantic folk planning on this one?
Here's the link:

This is a nice, low-key bay swim, generally swimmer-friendly weather, in my experience. Water temp around low 70s (just a guess based on feel).
They have one and two mile swims, plus a 1/4 mile for kids. I'm looking at the two miler this time around--have done the mile in the past.
Hope to see some of you there!
It is in Fire Island and like 50 bucks. It sounds too complicated to do. Apparently, you did a kayaker or something. Plus, I definitely don't want to do an event 2 weeks before Indy. Not to mention, the tolls just to get into Long Island, :bitching:. Maybe, I can find something in late August that is 3 miles or more.
They'll help you find a kayaker if you let them know you need one. But sorry, I don't think they'll help with the tolls.:shakeshead:
I have a special feeling for Fire Island, having spent so many childhood summer vacations there. So if not this year, I totally recommend you try it! You'd do very well, I think!
So ... do we have Swimmy, Leonard, and TJRPatt at Sept. Splash! Would be cool to meet my "imaginary friends"! :) You folk will have showered and dressed by the time I finish the two miler, so you can grab yourselves a nice post-swim mocha, put your feet up, relax, work on your suntan (or sunblock) and await my arrival. (You might need a copy of War and Peace to read...)
