was very curious about the best bridge swims in the United States... certainly we often romanticize bridges... please answer the poll but speak to specifics... for example was the hosting organization great hosts? did the t-shirt rock? details related to the venue itself... in addition, note the hosting organization of the swim... I imagine several groups have hosted a golden gate bridge swim over the years... educate us too... are there bridge swims in the pacific northwest? what bridge would you like to swim? USA only please!

    I have only done the Chesapeake swim so I can't speak to the others. Chesapeake is a well organized, fun race between the two spans of the Lane Memorial Bridge. jgale - I have done the chesapeake 1-mile with success. I've always headed out too quickly to see or enjoy post-swim activities. a few friends have found a nearby blue crab restaurant that looks unbelievable, but i've neglected that too. the chesapeake swims - 4.4 and 1 - are top-notch. my bucket list includes the rockland breakwater swim.
