Subject: RE: Lone Star weather obsession threadKathyG - 2010-04-15 1:08 PM I'm hoping for about 60 and no wind..how likely is that? ![](https://beginnertriathlete.com/discussion/images/emoticons/wink.gif) So I heard we can't swim prior to the race. We fly in Friday and I would like to 1 or 2 ows in before the race Sunday. Are there other places down there protected to swim? It takes me usually a couple ows to feel comfortable each spring don't' really want first ows to be the race. Well, the beach to the Gulf is about 1 mile south of Moody Gardens... surf, water temp, currents will likely be very different... but it's open water. Offat's Bayou - not looking good. It's a bit of a drive from Galveston (39 miles - but closer than 288 ), but Twin Lakes on Saturday is the closest 'closed' swim that I know of. 288 Lake is too far from Galveston. Maybe others who live down that way know better options (Bay Area Multisport peeps maybe? ) Twin LakesMap from Moody Gardens to Twin LakesEdited by Trin2bfast 2010-04-15 1:26 PM
