Interested in doing training swims together, and maybe occasional social events. Please respond to this post for additonal information. USMS is headquartered in Sarasota, FL. The Sarasota Y Shark Masters team is there also and every Saturday morning we have an open water practice on Siesta Key Beach. Some of us in the group do head out to other locations for OW swims on weekends. I used to live in Bradenton and swam many times on Anna Maria. Go to <a href="http://www.sharksmasters.org/">http://www.sharksmasters.org/</a> for more information about the Shark Masters swim team. We always do a breakfast outing after practice and have many other social events going on on a regular basis.<div style="clear:both;"></div>https://community.usms.org/thread/271268?ContentTypeID=1Fri, 14 Mar 2014 10:52:01 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:3007f725-dcce-4b3e-a6ff-5c9402d9cbd9Robert64I am going to Anna Maria Island is a couple of weeks and am looking for a place to swim. Did you have any luck when you were there?<div style="clear:both;"></div>https://community.usms.org/thread/271235?ContentTypeID=1Sun, 05 May 2013 13:06:20 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:78fdb977-4ff5-4715-b9b9-f1e946b1097aFormer Memberyou might have some luck with a triathlon website or local triathlon club. in addition, if you have a beach or site in mind, you might stalk the site for swimmers. I live in the greater houston area... regardless of the metropolitan area, you&#39;re likely to have to turn a few stones and rocks over to locate some open water swim partners. good luck and good swimmin&#39;<div style="clear:both;"></div>
