Here is a list of the open water swims for the season in NJ/NY/CT area published by NJ masters - check the site periodically as it is updated through out the summer.
I will do one of the swims with you. However, it is imperative that we wear flowery bathing caps and swimmies on our arms. I want to make sure our families can spot us a mile away. LOL
All jokes aside, I would love to do an open water swim. That sounds like fun.
we swim every fri am at 6am - and it looks like a 5:30am group is forming too. you are more than welcome to join us. Although its a bit cold for swimming without a wetsuit right now - do you have a swimming wetsuit?
