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

& remember, the day after 2009 USMS Short Course Nationals in Clovis was the USMS One Mile Championship at Millerton Lake.

Interesting. I just looked at the times from several other 1 mile championships 2008,10,11 and they were in general substantially slower than the one in Fresno. However, in some cases it was the same people, so it's not like a bunch of ringers skewed the Millerton results. If these are lake swims, why would people swim 3-6 minutes slower for a mile? Sorry if I seem ignorant, but I've only done two open water swims, both only a mile.
