Looking to get something on my calendar for Summerish 2011.
Anyone know any 10K and longer races planned for 2011?
I know the 25K Championships are in Noblesville and the 10K is at Fort Meyers. Any other intriguing races posted yet?

Did the Lake Champlain swim happen in 2010? I did not hear one bit about it.

i don't think it has ever been promoted well... or run particularly well either. still, its a good swim

I remember that the start changed to somewhere north of Burlington. It sounds like more fun as a Plattsburgh>B'town crossing.

Didn't you do all of those this year? :-)
not quite bob.
pennock is on my hit list. i have little interest in key west (too hot), and my next swim in lake chamlain will be a 15 mile circumnavigation of isle le motte.
Sitka will also host another 10k this year (that's Sitka Alaska). It will be within 1 week of Pennock (Ketchikan Ak) so you can do both or if the 8.2 is a bit much try the 10km, there will likely be a 5km option too (I have been drafted as assistant RD again). You can also do a relay for Pennock if a solo is too much! Also the Semana Nautica 6mi (Santa Barbara) is a fantastic venue!

From the Semana Nautica 6mi entry form **”As in the tradition of open water swimming, the use of wet-suits or other non-porous attire, kickboards, gold chains, booties, paddles, swim buoys, body suits, triathlon suits, fins, gloves, or other wimpy contraband will not be allowed. No exceptions!!”** circa 1982, before the new open water rules.
:) gotta love it

I'm working on creating a new website, so there has not yet been a formal announcement, but please add the 2011 Swim For Kids' Sake in picturesque Culver, Indiana on August 27th. The line-up should include 1/2 Mile, 1 mile, 5k, 10k, relay options, and a kids' fun swim.
There is a fan page on facebook you could join to get updates as they come in.
Info about SFKS 2010 can be found here.

I took the liberty of organizing the above suggestions (plus some other swims I know of) into a spreadsheet:

With a limit of 10K/6M minimum distance, this shouldn't be difficult to keep reasonably updated and comprehensive. I also included the number of loops and entry fee for each swim. Let me know of any swims I've missed, corrections, or suggestions for additional columns (predicted water temp?).
Also, for now I'm limiting this to non-elite, U.S. races (no FINA World Cup or USA-S National Championship races).

I can see "when" "What" and "Where. The rest of the fields are obscured by some twitter data.
