I'm starting to think about some goal races for the next few years and none of my aspirations include the Channel, Manhattan, or Catalina. I'd like to start going farther afield for my races, making it a fun vacation for my entire family with a longer race thrown in. Has anyone done any open water in Thailand? Indonesia? Vietnam? Korea? Japan?
I'd love to do 10K or longer.
Any suggestions?
There are hundreds of open water swims throughout Asia; however, most of the swims do not have English-language websites. I do cover several dozen open water swims every year in Japan, China, Hong Kong, Korea, Thailand and Singapore at http://10kswim.blogspot.com.
You can read about a 12-event series in Japan here: 10kswim.blogspot.com/.../japanese-open-water-swimming-growing.html.
The Clean Half 15K Marathon Swim is a great solo and relay race in Hong Kong.
