<span style="font-style: normal; ">Many marathon swimmers don't like to talk about their next swim outside a trusted group. But if you do feel like sharing, here's the place.

Being used to swimming in a pretty quiet location in Southern Ireland, the idea of swimming surrounded by a big city appeals strongly to me, at least before I do it...</div>
Edit: Crewing at least one EC & Jersey to France also. I love crewing.

Got a weekend of back to back 10 milers in May (I'm not sure that the organizer wants to go public yet)
Co-directing (with Rondi) a 2.5K and 5K event in Poughkeepsie... 200 swimmers max
Co-directing (with Rondi) 8 Bridges June 25 - July 2, but plan to swim Stage 5 (unfinished business)
Finger Lakes mid - July (looks like I'll only have time for 1 or 2)
Looking at a 21K swim in Sweden on Aug 4 (and another 20 something K lake)
Crewing for Ederle
Plymouth to P-town Late Aug (20 miles across the Cape Cod Bay)
A few ideas for September... still planning.
...anything worth doing is worth overdoing.
@loneswimmer - Gibraltar will be #4, and Tsugaru #5, so that leaves the Cook Strait, and the North Channel next year in March and August. Looking forward to coming to Ireland! I have heard nothing but positive feedback on how nice the countryside is, and how beautiful the town of Belfast is to visit!

@Theodore That is one beastly sounding swim. I looked up your website and loved that one of your goals is "highlighting shark awareness." LOL. It's an honor to have you here, sir!

Other than that, I have nothing specific planned. Money is very tight this year.
“Moderation is a fatal thing. Nothing succeeds like excess.” - Oscar Wilde
The swim is in Grand Cayman - nothing tidy, like halfway around, to make a nice record - just want to do the distance.
I very much appreciate all the great information on this forum.
