This is a bit of a fluff piece from the Corpus Christi Open Water Festival in September. Still, it is well done and with OW done for the year in this part of the world, you have to get your fix somehow.

Rob,
You, Aaron, Brendan and Rowdy are all on the same page in going to smaller markets to promote open water swimming. I wish everyone well and it is exciting for those swimmers in Ft. Myers and Corpus Christi who attend their clinics and races.
I just happen to have a different perspective because I believe that having Rowdy and Aaron talking up open water swimming in, say, New York City, would simply draw even greater media attention to the sport that would help the sport in other important ways (e.g., sponsorship interest, general public awareness, an increase in perceived legitimacy among age-group pool swimmers).
