I have been swimming for about 6 months now and I don't know what the next step is. I know there are meets and open water swims and I am not sure which one I should do. It seems like the training for one does not overlap with the other. How do I know which one I should do? I swim a mile in about 35 minutes in a pool but the one open water swim I did was slower (I jut swam in a lake, no idea how far or how long. It was just me swimming). I love doing the breaststroke and ended up doing some of it during the open water swim. When I ran, I was better at the middle distance races but I don't know if that translates into the water. Any advice?
Open water swims are fine, and doing one some or all breaststroke is fine,but if you want to swim breaststroke against people who are also swimming breaststroke ,then a meet is the place to go.
