Hi all,
I just got an email from my buddy, Ron Collins, who runs the Tampa Bay Marathon Swim! Entry is now open for next year… and given that Tampa Bay cools off in the winter, it’s a great place to get in some cold water training, if you happen to be planning a English Channel swim!
I did the solo last year (cancelled after 6 1/2 hours due to large lightning storm unfortunately, but got in about 25k) and a few other LOSTies put together a relay… it is a great event and a nice one to get some distance in early in the year. Check it out:

Hi Rob,
The entry form for the 16th Annual 24 Mile Tampa Bay Marathon Swim is now available at http://distancematters.com/entryform.pdf Hope you can make it to our event next April 20th, 2013! If not, please feel free to pass along the info to someone who is considering swimming as a soloist or relay.
Also, we are booking training/qualifying sessions here in Clearwater/Tampa, Florida for November – March. Our water temps usually hover around 60F during the winter, so contact us if you would like to plan your cold water acclimation training or qualification swim with us in the coming months.
Thank you,
Ron Collins
