Hi! I’m new to OWS and currently training for my first event (1 mile in a lake). What do you wish you knew when you first started open water swimming? Training tips? Other tips? Thank you all!

Thank you all! The event went great! I appreciate the encouragement and advice. All my best, Kathryn
Congrats! When is your next event?!

Thank you! I am looking at an indoor swim meet this winter. It will be my first meet in 25 years! I'd also love to train for another OWS next summer. Any midwest recommendations between 1 mile - 5K?
Good luck at the meet! Keep it up!
Here are a few 2023 USMS sanctioned open water events in the Midwest. Open water events will typically start to appear on the USMS Calendar early in the year (once they've sanctioned and are getting ready to open entries) so stay tuned!
Thank you!!
