Subject: Lake Michigan Swim Practice
I am looking for large water swim practice to prepare for IM Florida. Does anyone know if there are groups that hold Lake Michigan swim events?

I don't know.  I am in for IMFL too  grand rapids tri and MITI are both good warm up events.  Also Steelhead.  Is snowing out today here in Lansing so I am thinking no OWS in the near future   I ha have done IMFL several times and I am in the Lansing area so if you have questions feel free to ask.  Having done the above mentioned races I can tell you the water will be far warmer and clearer come IMFL
