#9 I assume you mean across Buzzards Bay.
I think a good one would be Chatham to Providencetown along the Cape Cod National Seashore. I wonder which way the current moves, it might be easier the other way. There were more than a few sharks spotted through there last summer.
this is across cape cod bay not buzzards bay.
plymouth sits just about due west of the "fist".....(p-town)

Thank you, for all the time I have spent down there I can't believe I had that wrong, oops.
I still think a swim along the National Seashore is a great idea. I have kicked around the idea of swimming from Coast Guard to Marconi beach next summer. I love it down there and look forward to going there like a kid does Christmas.
During the winter Olympics they did a story about a Dutch speed-skating race, held on frozen canals, called the Elfstedentocht (Eleven-City Tour). It's about 200k, and is a huge big deal in Holland. I have no idea if these canals are swimmable during the summer, but if they are, I imagine this would make for a scenic stage swimming race.
I was just watching a documentary on Yellowstone National Park. Yellowstone Lake is the largest freshwater lake above 7,000 feet (2,133 m) in North America. I thought what beautiful place for a open water swim.
I'd love to do suggestion number six.
6. Because the pristine waters of Crater Lake in the state of Oregon is a special geological wonder of North America, swimming the 9.7K (6 mile) length of the lake will probably be done with a carbon-neutral manner, if at all due to federal restrictions.
sh. . . . .
It's suppose to be a secret

Do they not allow swimming in this lake? I inquired about swimming in Glacier's lakes and got some blank stares. Someone eventually said, "Sure, if you want to." So I did.

hey Ken I am with you on crater lake in Oregon! I am from a town not far form there and am now in the mid west, I have had great times there its so great I think to end the race at sunset, would be great, they have the best sun sets ever there!!!
I've had my eye on Pemaquid Light (mainland) to Monhegan Island in Maine for quite some time. 10 miles, very cold. Content with sipping a beer from my new kegerator in front of the fireplace right now.
