The 14th Annual 24 Mile Tampa Bay Marathon Swim will be on April 23rd, 2011. Entry Forms are available at www.DistanceMatters.com and entries are currently being accepted. The deadline to enter is March 1st, but contestants are encouraged to enter early since there is a limited number of entries that may be accepted.
We have several slots available for individual and group Open Water Boot Camps November - March. Our water temperatures range from 58F - 65F during our winter, so you can get your cold water training and qualification swim here in the Tampa area of Florida. You can come swim with us 2 hours to 10 hours per day, 1-7+ consecutive days, with weekend and weekday slots available.
Please contact me via email at collins@tampabay.rr.com or call me at 727.531.7999 for questions on the Boot Camp or the Marathon Swim.
Thank you,

I can only attest to my own experience; and it's great to hear others' experiences. It sounds like you experienced warmer water than I did, due to time of day and route. This is great information for future TBMS swimmers and their pilots, if the Gulf Coast should happen to be blessed with another early summer :-)
It would be unfortunate if anyone decided against trying the swim because they expected overly warm water. I think this year was unusual.
