Governor's Island Swim 8-1-10

I signed up to swim the Governor's Island swim in NYC this summer. Has anybody done it? Anybody planning on it this year? I am trying to ease myself into more open water swimming and this seemed like a good one and interesting (although getting there early in the morning might be rough). I am open to suggestions of other moderately difficult northeast swims this summer -- they have to be on Sundays though, for a variety of reasons.
