I'm staying near the race site for the week before the race. Is there anywhere that I'm likely to find others doing some open water swimming or is there a masters club nearby? I'm hoping to avoid getting run over by a motor boat.

You can swim at Ellacoya State Park where the triathlon will take place. There is a very large roped-off swim area with lifeguards.

$4 for adults

It's also good as its fairly shallow too. Good swim, but it's not over your head for the most part.

I haven't been to Ellacoya proper but other places I swim nearby the water is *really* down this year. I would imagine it will be very walkable this year for the sprint. It's sad when people walking in the water are going faster than I am swimming ... Wink
