But what about all the open water swims that require no certification? All they do is say "Do not attempt this if you cannot swim a mile comfortably in a pool in under 40 minutes."
The first time I swam the Tiburon Mile in the 63 degree SF Bay, nobody asked me for any certification or even proof that I could swim.
Are designated OW events different from triathlons?
