I am new to open water but have swum in pool since i could breathe, i am looking for someone to help get my started with the training for a 6 mile race in april. I find it motivates me more to know there is someone there, plus im really bad at making workouts.

Meg,
I noticed your location is Fort Collins. Fort Collins, Colorado is host to one of the nations longest running masters marathon swims; the Horestooth 10K http://www.horsetoothswim.com/ They have a very solid and dedicated open water swimming community including several successful English Channel crossers. If you’re on Facebook (FB) I suggest looking up and liking the Horsetooth swim FB page, you can post your need for a swim partner there. Second, if you want to friend me on FB, I can add you to a Colorado based open water swimming group called Colorado Represents Open Water Swimming or CROWS that includes folks from the Ft Collins area, again you can seek out swim partners and or coaching on that page.
What swim are you planning on doing?
