Subject: RE: Open Water Swim in Murfreesboro Area I think there's a good chance the water will be warm enough, especially with a wet suit. There was a group of us that did a couple open water swims in Priest last year. We met on Sunday mornings. I forget the name of the park we met in but it was off Couchville Pk. My neighbor has a bass boat. He would bring the boat out there and would keep an eye on us while we were swimming. There is an unofficial tri club in Smyrna. They have a Facebook page, http://www.facebook.com/home.php#!/group.php?gid=121385991229436. It looks as if they meet at Fate Sanders for open water swims. I plan to join with them when they start swimming this year. CRunner10 had posted about this group in a previous thread. I think they usually have someone out there in a kyack. Also, I think ACME and Endurance have a combined swim at Priest in the South Nashville area. I'm thinking they used to meet on Tuesdays, but I'm not positive. I know that drive is a little further for someone in Murfreesboro, but it may work for some of you. Hopefully others will be able to add more information. It's great that our tri community is growing and we are starting to get more options for training groups, especially when it come to ows. |
