Hi.
I am doing the Little Red Lighthouse swim (5.85 mi) in NYC in a couple of weeks. I am a little anxious. I'd like to hear from others who have done this swim -- tips, advice, etc. Can you sight off the lighthouse? Will I get sucked into the water treatment plant?
I've done the Bay Swim (4.4 mi) several times -- I have a feeling that with the tidal assist the LRL swim might be easier, even though it is longer. Am I nuts? Well... um, I mean about comparing GCBS with the LRL swim.
Thanks in advance!

hi sarah,
if the swim goes off heading north, the gw bridge is the object you will sight. you will probably not get sucked into the treatment plant.
if heading south, pay attention to start heading in when you should to avoid having to swim against the current back to the finish.
this 5.85 miles swims like a 5k. the pre race briefing will address all this stuff.
see you there.
