There are some great tris up here in Nor Cal - with freshwater swimming. I grew up in Maine and one does NOT swim in the ocean in Maine. But lakes, rivers and ponds... woohoo!

The one I'm doing this weekend is the Trek for Women. It's being held at a nice park where I've done 3 other tris and fit my schedule. It looks like a good series for starting out though. They have swim buddies in the water to help you out if needed.

They are doing one in Palm Springs Oct. 10. Just saying...
