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?

This is the only open water swim I could locate in KY. Ohio has numerous open water events.

and details cut-and-pasted... Shepherdsville, KY
Directions: The swim will be held at Camp Crooked Creek on the Boy Scout Reservation 20 miles south of Louisville. From
Louisville, take I-65 south to exit #112, state road 245. This exit is roughly 19 miles south of Louisville and 20 miles north of
Elizabethtown. Turn left/east off exit #112 toward Clermont and Bardstown. Go 0.8 mile to Plen Mar Drive (Meadow Peak
Subdivision) and turn right. Continue on this road for 3.9 miles till it ends at Camp Crooked Creek. The road twists around and
changes names to Terry Drive – follow the black top road – it ends at the camp. Travel time from the Louisville airport is 30 minutes
and 40 minutes from Downtown Louisville. The closest lodging is available at I-65 exit #117 (Best Western, Day’s Inn, Ramada Inn).
