your three favorite open water swims... and why?
by all means, feel free to include personal experiences, e.g. your english channel swim, but try to note three race events that we might register for in 2012.
my three to be elaborated on later are;
Donner Lake Swim, Truckee, CA
Highland Lakes Challenge, Austin, TX
Pennock Island Challenge, Ketchikan, AK
Honorable mentions;
Low Country Splash, Charleston, SC
San Francisco Swims
New York City Swims - NYCSwim & CIBBOWS
2) Polson Bay Water Daze (Montana) -- a collander of fresh cherries for the winner, a great BBQ @ the finish and the chance to swim in the most beautiful lake, Flathead Lake, and hang out in my favorite summer part of the world
This is the 1-miler, on same Sat. as the Long Bridge Swim in Sandpoint?
Flathead is indeed a lovely lake to swim in, from my limited experience at a camping ground on the W side. (It was near a cherry stand!)
My favorites require no driving, and no registration. :)
But that is a different thread.
Hard to improve on Chaos's list. Evmo? Many swims on W Coast, and in Pacific Northwest. Pennock Island Challenge sounds like a hoot, with a blossoming Sitka Sound swim as chaser.
