ANYBODY OUT THERE INTO SWIMMING.OCEAN RACES ARE USUALLY A MILE OR UNMEASURED MILE. SOME ARE IN LAKES, RIVERS & IN THE WINTER THERE IS ALWAYS MASTERS SWIMMING FOR BEST TIMES IN POOLS. I LIVE IN A BEACHHOUSE RIGHT BEHIND THE DUNES...IF ANYONE IS SERIOUS ABOUT SWIMMING IT IS ABOUT A HALF MILE SWIM FROM BACKYARD TO NEXT TOWN WITH NO JETTYS TO SWIM AROUND. IF YOU SWIM BACK IT IS APPROXIMATELY A MILE-UNMEASURED. IF YOU FEEL COMPETITIVE & WANT TO MEET UP AT AN OCEAN RACE THERE ARE ALOT TIL END OF SUMMER.ALMOST EVERY WEEK.SEND A REPLY & SWIM AN OCEAN MILE!!
