Hello All...
My name is Elizabeth and I have a quick question. I used to be a swimmer but haven't since high school because I do not do well with competing for time.
But I love the distance... so my question is this....
Is there long distance swimming that is more based on endurance than on time... if so, what is this called? Is this a professional event thing, or is there ameteur... What's the longest distance out there... etc. etc.
Thanks, I appreciate any comments.

Wow! what a nice event.
I've done one (1) open water swim in So. Cal and i swore it would be my last. It was crowded, chaotic,
and felt like half the participants were swimming with fists and brass knuckles. 100s of people.
This looks so.....well intimate. Or....are these really pictures of the day before?;)
Swimming events are normally divided into heats because there are frequently too many swimmers to have them all swim at once. A heat is a group of swimmers who start swimming the event at the same time.
