However, there ...Tom, you make an excellent point. However, there are not 100 pro swims around the world - and most of the pro swims actually have an amateur race also conducted on the same weekend. For example, the FINA 10KM Marathon Swimming World Cup that will be held on September 6 in New York City will also hold an amateur race along the same course 2 days before and will also have a 1-mile race near the same course the day before.Steven Munatoneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11024264870051991154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-189494986653874518.post-77582060887245396002009-07-02T13:21:08.375-07:002009-07-02T13:21:08.375-07:00Nice list of swims.

Numerous emails to the La Jolla Rough Water Swim Committee have gone unanswered since 2006. If you can confirm the 10-mile swim with its organizers, please send the details to headcoach@10Kswim.com and we will report on it. Thank you very much.Steven Munatoneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11024264870051991154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-189494986653874518.post-80209569658506635972009-03-15T07:22:00.000-07:002009-03-15T07:22:00.000-07:00You've got the La Jolla Rough Water but what about...You've got the La Jolla Rough Water but what about the 10-mile relay?
