Major Correction:
This is no longer a USMS-sponsored swim.
Kingdom Swim will go on as planned, under the aegis of WOWSA (World Open Water Swimming Association). There will be a 10-mile WOWSA championship swim. Edited March 3, 2013
Kingdom Swim takes place on Saturday, July 6, Lake Memphremagog, northern VT. 1-, 3-, 6-, and 10-mile courses for adults; youth get a 1/4- mile swim in addition:

The 10-mile course offers both a championship wave (for those vying for the USMS OW champioship) and a non-championship wave.
A qualifying swim is available at 2-, 4-, and 6-mile distances for those who need it.
New this year is a phat week of swimming multiple lakes in August, called Swim the Kingdom:
www.kingdomswim.org/NEKOWSA.php
NEKOWSA (Northeast Kingdom Open Water Swimming Association) is putting this lovely, woodsy area on the map as a destination for swimming in the Northeast.
Major Change:
Kingdom Swim is no longer a USMS-sponsored swim (the details appear on the Marathon Swimmers site and have been emailed to participants). The swim will go on as planned, under the aegis of WOWSA, World Open Water Swimming Association. There will be a 10-mile WOWSA championship wave.

I suggest those interested in swimming this swim, the Swim the Kingdom series, or any of the other, many swims planned by NEKOWSA (Northeast Kingdom Open Water Swimming Association) this summer hie to Marathon Swimmers (you don't need to be a marathon swimmer, just have a special interest in OW).
