Mary Alice Park

I went to the OWS at Redtop last week.  Here's a link to a thread http://www.beginnertriathlete.com/discussion/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=127040&posts=9&start=1.

Tri2remember has not posted swims for September yet.  They said, at the swim, that they're doing it every other week.  The next one should be 9/6.  I joined the e-mail group.  They should confirm in newsletter.  I'll follow up here when I hear something.

Regarding MAP, I know a few folks from the Reality Bikes tri group go out and swim on Saturday mornings there.  I've sent out an e-mail asking for details.  Will post here when I get a response.

I'd like to swim at MAP and get in a bike ride.  If you all are up for it, we could try to put something together ourselves.

How about Saturday, September 6 at 8 am? 

I know a couple of folks in this forum have set up swims before.  What do we need to do?  Do we need to call the Corp of Engineers?

No need to call anybody.  Just show up, pay the park fee ($3 or $4), park near the beach, and then have at...this said, last time I was out there (fishing with my son a few months ago), water was still VERY low and the 4th buoy was still grounded....you may just end up doing laps between the other three.  I believe this is why Pete F. moved his OWS's to Red Top.

Heard on the news that the water level was only up >1' from the rain thus far ... and is anticipated to only increase 2' as the water filters down from the streams within the basin over the coming days.

It is going to take some time and a couple more tropical depressions for the lake levels back on the path towards normal.

Can someone please let me know if there's a way to get email notifications of these OWS sessions?

Thx.
