Does anyone have suggestions about how to find places to train in open water? I live in Cincinnati, and a number of our parks have lakes, but the parks administration told me that swimming is strictly prohibited in all their lakes. Is there a resource out there? A strategy for finding a place?

I'm still very interested in heading to East Fork state park to do some open water training this season. It sounds like some groups (Baracudas and Mercy masters) are already swimming there. Does anyone know when people typically go there to swim? Spring is approaching fast and before we know it will be warm enough to swim outside!
Also, I was wondering if it might be possible to set up a Google group site for open water swimming in Cincinnati? I know some of the cycling groups in the area do this (Gears for Beers) and people can visit the site to let others know when they are planning a ride and see who wants to join them. I thought we could do the same for open water training swims. Just a thought.
