 54 |  Subject: Bad times to swim at AC? & swim closer to homeI was thinking of heading up to AC this weekend for a mountain bike ride, followed by a practice swim to cool off, but with the holiday weekend, I'm thinking the beach could get crowded. Are there bad times to plan to swim? Should I swim first, ride later? Also, I'm on the west side and looking for something a little more convenient if I'm tight on time. Is there anywhere in the Dublin, Hilliard, UA or Grandview area for an open water swim? I need more OW practice. |

 Delaware, OH | Subject: RE: Bad times to swim at AC? & swim closer to home I was swimming over memorial day weekend last year and you have to go out pretty far to dodge the masses in the water. it's good sighting practice tho! I would bike first early then swim..just plan on being done before 11 am or so.I don't know of any other places to swim OW other than alum creek. I will prob be in the water around 8:30 on Saturday. |

| 54 | Subject: RE: Bad times to swim at AC? & swim closer to home Let me ask a sort-of related question also: How do I keep from getting sick/a sinus infection after an OW swim? Should I wear a nose plug? I tend to get water in my mouth a little when I breathe. It would make my swim inefficient, but should I be lifting my head higher to breathe (and see)? |

I haven't done Wendy's so I don't know the course. I will be riding north of Delaware- prob out to Ostrander/Magnetic Springs this weekend. I did this ride on Tuesday and it was pretty nice- good rollers: http://www.westervillebicycleclub.org/files/maps/tuesdaymagnesticsp... |

| 54 | Subject: RE: Bad times to swim at AC? & swim closer to home Approx. how long is one length of the beach in the swim areas? No sinus issues in the pool and not always in OW, just sometimes. I did some reading on oil of oregano to help with sinus problems, but I learned that I can not take it (makes me insanely sick to my stomach for days). Bummer. |
