Transport is the limiting factor but does anyone have any recommendations (an alternative to the RBAC)?
Hanson Dam–about 15-20 min west on the 210.
Sat & Sun AM there are group open water swims down at Manhattan Beach with SCAQ or LA Tri. Thats 40-45 min drive w/o traffic.
The beach at the dam at the 605/210 in Irwindale is open in the summer, but no idea if its long enough for a good open water swim workout. Water always seemed kind of nasty.
Hansen Dam is the closest to you, but holy shit that’s the nastiest water I’ve ever had the displeasure to stick my face in.
You can hop on the train and take the blue line down to Long Beach, where there’s a swimmable beach.

Thanks, I’d thought about that. Any lockers that you know of where I could stash my clothes/money whilst I swim?
Hansen Dam has a really nice 150 meter pool with lockers etc. I used to swim there all the time. It’s a cool place to throw on your wetsuit and do a TT for whatever distance you’re training for.

That’s great thanks.
