I cannot wait for summer and my first open water experience. As i was thinking about Islandsox and ocean swimming i was wondering how does one swim in the ocean? As an indoor pool swimmer i swim with an open mouth (under water). Does it work the same way in open/ocean swimming? what happens if you swallow the water? do you breath differently?

I'm hoping to do some ocean swims this summer...I think I can do well, but I don't have very much open water experience, because when I am at the beach with my family, I try not to anger too many lifeguards by swimming out too deep...I think with support boats and a group of people swimming I will be more confident.
I'm gonna try and swim with the adirondack group that swims in lake minnawaska over the summer to get at least some non pool experience.
