Reply To: Swimming against the current

Hi, Alexander,

I saw your post a few days ago and the only thing I can come up with is – good question!

When I was in Chattanooga a month ago for IM 70.3 Chattanooga, we found that local triathletes and swimmers regularly swim in the Tennessee River, where the race was held. But here we have two huge rivers that cannot be swam in safely, and to be honest I’ve never heard of anyone swimming in the smaller rivers (Meramec, Illinois, etc).

So, basically, I’m no help…
