I have no idea the distances or the connectivity or the depth or the cleanliness, but, driving around Arizona with our wonderful canals sucking water down from the north country, I often say to my open-water-loving eldest daughter, "Wouldn't it be cool to have a race in the Arizona Canal?" It'd be even cooler for someone (assuming they are contiguous) to swim from whichever lake in the north (Mead?) they draw from to the southern-most point in the state (Yuma?).
