Anyone planning to do the Great South Bay Cross-Bay Swim?

This year will be my third time! Getting pumped up! (For those who want to know what this is so as to try it next year--sold out this year--here's the link: www.greatsouthbayswim.com) Would love to touch base with other swimmers! This year I'm training w/ a great coach who has a lot of experience with IM tri's and long open water swims--it's hard work but very exciting just to discover capacities that have been dormant for a couple years. This swim is special to me b/c it's in a bay where I took so many childhood swimming lessons and starts on Fire Island which is one of my favorite places! It's just an immensely well organized swim--and for a great cause! So hopefully if any of you are planning to go, I'd enjoy hearing from you!

  • I've thought about that one many times. As I recall, what stopped me was that they have a mandatory meeting that is not the day before the swim but instead, a week or so before. Is that still accurate? Coming from out of town that was not feasible for me and they weren't flexible about allowing you to send a proxy. Have they changed that?
