Member  27  New York City |  Subject: Open Water Swim in NYC?Hi guys. My first tri is quickly approaching and I'd love to get an open water swim in before the race. Is there anywhere you might recommend? Or even better, a group that you recommend swimming with? |

I set up a petition to help make the lakes more friendly to open water swimmers. Here's the link (work/family safe): http://www.change.org/petitions/commissioner-rose-harvey-new-york-state-parks-end-the-prohibition-on-open-water-swimming-in-harriman-state-park |
