Anyone doing the Sandestin Tri on August 20th?  It will be my first.  Yesterday I tried to swim in Grand Isle and got my (you know what) handed to me.  I hope the Gulf is not that rough in Florida.  Need to get more open water swim time in.  Anyone know where to swim open water in New Orleans?

I would be careful swimming in Grand Isle. Read the link below.

Well that is nice to know.  Guess I will have to re-think swimming here again.

I will have to try this place out.  I just found the older post about swimming at the Lake and hope to make it out there some time when the group is out there.  I am just starting to get used to swimming and would feel better with others around.

Vibrio Vulnificus and it can happen in any of our coastal waters this time of year.  A good friend of mine is a surgeon and had to skin an old woman from wrist to shoulder due to this stuff.
