Hi Gang!
since it's spring, I've been thinking that I'm going to try some open swimming soon--I might buy a wetsuit and go out in a month or so.
Anyway, for those of you who go out solo, how do you do it?
Do you take an innertube with you? Not swim far off of shore? swim within a certain distance (like a 50), and repeat?
The thought is a bit scary to me, but I'm doing a 1/2 ironman in August, so the practice would be particularlly useful.
And, if there are any Cincinnati, or near area, folks who are interested in meeting up, let me know!
best,
jcat
Hi Jerrycat,
I don't do much open water but a little. When I started, a fellow swimmer advised me not to do it alone...always have a friend with you. Good advice, I think.
Cinci is filled full of swimmers. Some of them must be open water people. You'll find a buddy. Must be warmer down there in May than it is up here. Burrrrrr.
Have fun. Be safe.
