Hi Everyone!
I am new to the forum.
I am an avid mile-a-day pool swimmer. A friend is trying to convince me to do some open water swims in NJ. Maybe next summer?
Any advice to get started in open water swimming?

When weather permits, go to the beach with at least one other swimmer, mark out a mile course, using buildings on the shore as landmarks, swim the course, if you feel good swim back, if not walk or jog back to the start. If the water seems rough or your swim partner is much faster wear fins. Find a nice place for breakfast or lunch after your swim. Maybe you will enjoy it.
