This is the first annual Coeur'd' Alene Open Water Swim on August 14th. It's a new event, so thought I would pass it along. FYI- this is a cold water lake, but in August it is more of a "cool water" lake!

no information on course or event unless you sign up to get on their email list for the local swim team......:censor:
Incorrect. The website has a perfectly reasonable amount of information for five months before the event. It tells you where the race will be and when and how much it costs; what the prizes will be; what type of course it is; and what other races will be happening at the same time. It even gives the race director's name and telephone number and a web link to send him questions in writing.
I sent these questions, and I'll post the answers here unless he does it first:
1. What is the usual range of water temps in Lake Coeur d'Alene in mid-August?
2. Will the course have an aid station for 5K and 10K swimmers?
3. For 10K swimmers, will personal paddlers be forbidden, optional, or mandatory?
