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!

    The Pensacola Bridge Swim is an excellent and challenging race measuring approximately 3 1/2 miles... water temperature usually at 70 F It is a one-way race from Pensacola to Gulf Breeze, FL... good food and drink at the finish often including Michelob Ultra. The 2010 incarnation, Sunday, May 23, will include a 10K... from Gulf Breeze and return... www.3milebridgeswim.org/ A bushwacker at the sandshaker lounge at pensacola beach is a must... Franco's Italian Restaurant‎ in pensacola is excellent, and a perfect pre-race dinner. i highly recommend a trip to pensacola's fish market - Joe Patti's - too I've done this swim alone, as a bachelor weekend on at least two ocassions, with the pregnant fiance, and now :bow:my bride and :bow:6-month old daughter are looking forward to the 2010 swim. :cheerleader:If you live in the southeastern united states, this is a great open water swim destination.:cheerleader:
