http://www.cap2k.com/ at 2K, this swim is on the short side for many posters but Austin, TX, is a great destination for an open water swim. It is an ASA swim and not a USMS swim... the swim venue is Lady Bird Lake / the former Town Lake... great hosts in Sandy and Keith Bell... postrace meal and festivities excellent and at the park proximate to the Deep Eddy Pool.

    This is a very well-organized swim with a great, food-filled finish reception and even crowd support at the bridges along the way. The water is a little chilly, but since it's not a long distance, even wimpy people like me can handle the temp :) I hope you can come to Highland Lakes--it's a small event but very attentively organized, and I like how the stages seem to end right at a lunch location just in time for a meal. It makes for a friendly and social atmosphere, and you meet some neat people.
