Illinois swim, GLOWS series (Great Lakes OW Swim series)

ViveBene
The schedule is set and venues selected for the inaugural Great Lakes Open Water Swim Series, or GLOWS. Each LMSC in the Great Lakes Zone has identified a swim for the series. Mermaid has posted information on the first swim, in the Allegheny River, Pittsburgh, on July 11, 2010. Chicago closes the series with Big Shoulders on Saturday, September 11. Big Shoulders now counts 3 ways: as part of the H2Open Series, as part of GLOWS, and for its own sweet self. www.bigshoulders.org Paricipants in at least 2 of the 7 GLOWS events earn points, with rankings and awards determined after the last event, Big Shoulders. A quick summary: Allegheny: Allegheny River, Pittsburgh, July 11, 2010 Indiana: Morse Reservoir, Noblesville, July 17 Lake Erie (Ohio): Edgewater State Park, Cleveland, July 24 Michigan: Big Red Lighthouse Swim, Holland, August 7 Kentucky: Ohio River, Cardinal Harbor, Prospect (Louisville), August 14 Wisconsin: Lake Monona, Madison, August 21 Illinois: Big Shoulders, Ohio Street Beach, Chicago, September 11 I'll link a pdf with contact info in a bit. :) Edit: pdf with lengths, contact info, and Web sites here: www.ilmsa.com/.../2010GLOWSSeriesDescription.pdf

    Here is the pdf with event lengths, contact info, and relevant Web sites: www.ilmsa.com/.../2010GLOWSSeriesDescription.pdf I should mention that the GLOWS series is the inspiration of Marcia Cleveland, godmother, -father, and Good Fairy to all OW swimmers. Now, how cool is that! :) Thanks to the several other Great Lakes Zone LMSC ppl who worked hard over several months to get these swims in place, as listed in the pdf. :applaud: what an excellent swim series... now us open water swimmers need a bi-annual mackinaw bridge swim to cap the GLOW series... an annual mackinaw offering is too much to ask for.
