    An open water swim adventure of Saguaro, Canyon, Apache and Roosevelt lakes in the beautiful desert canyons on the Lower Salt River spanning more than 40 miles. The first three lakes were from dam to dam. The last swim at Roosevelt lake was a 10k under the stars and finishing beneath the iconic Roosevelt Bridge. An open water staged swim that was cold, windy, dark and rough at times. In the end, an unforgettable experience. Check it out at OpenWaterPedia
