Locations for Open Water Swimming

Just wondering if there are any resources that list open water swimming groups and/or locations? There are several that list events, but I am interested in training groups or swimming areas that are conducive for solo open water swimming.
I found a thread that listed iSwimToo (no longer exists) and a Google Docs map supported by several members on the MSF forum, but nothing beyond that.

I think this is a GREAT idea. I travel a lot for work and often look for area swimmin' holes.
"Lights go out and I can't be saved
Tides that I tried to swim against
Have brought be down upon my knees
Oh I beg, I beg and plead..."
I thought we already had this swim pod thing somewhere here on MSF?
We're all just carbon, water, starlight, oxygen and dreams
At one point there was a Google map started by Donal, but it sort of withered on the vine and died due to lack of maintenance. Looks like he took it offline.
Happy to support a new initiative if anyone wants to take the lead.
It makes sense that it is offline: According to the Google Map link, you needed to request permission to gain access. I tried that a few days ago and got no response.
I'd be interested in working on this project. @evmo Do you happen to know who had the last iteration of the map and the underlying data (you mention Donal)? @loneswimmer seemed to be involved a few year ago, too.
Donal / @loneswimmer = same person.
No idea the status of the former map.
As I recall it was a bit of a mess because anyone could edit anyone else's entries, so inevitably someone came along and moved the South End Rowing Club to the Sahara Desert, etc, etc.
The ocean is a desert with its life underground and a perfect disguise above...
I believe that outdoor swimming society has a web site that does this.
Thanks, @miklcct! I just added my location on Flathead Lake in Montana, USA.
