I am planning to do my first sprint tri in 2009.  Not a great swimmer.  Does anyone have suggestions on good places to go for an open water swim practice in Columbus once the weather warms up?  I live on the west side. 

 Thanks!

There always people at Alum Creek on weekend mornings. Not sure how close you are to it. Once they put the ropes up it's almost 1300 yard down and back acording to my Garmin.

if you are on the west side the quarry at runaway bay is gonna be closest, PM me if you want more info on that.

alum is good if you are nervous about open water swimming, you can do as much swimming as you like and never leave waist deep water, and great running/biking from the beach there, but a bit further away from you.
