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 created a google group if you want to join so that we can post each other about when and where we're going to OWS. I'm especially interested in safety in numbers. It is at:
groups.google.com/.../cinciows
I think you can just sign up with no problem, and then you'll get messages to your e-mail when someone posts. If you have any problems, contact me (I'm the group admin).
I'll contact those other groups mentioned and see if any of them want to join up or let us know when they are swimming.
Ideally, sometime I'd like to see if we can advocate for somewhere closer to the city to swim. I'll start looking into the legal process (petitioning someone in the parks dept?)
