This Week in Open Water Swimming - 4/8/2013

Big, big week this week!  Our first race of the season, Snapping Tortuga, plus FOUR OWS opportunities this week:

• This Sunday is the Snapping Tortuga, a 5k/2.5k/500 meter race in Lake Conroe North of Houston.  NTXOpenH2O has done this race twice and it's a great event!  It's well organized, the race director and volunteers are great, the venue is good.  I highly recommend you check out this race (or one of the other races in the Tortuga series, which are still being scheduled).
