https://community.usms.org/swimming/f/open-water-training-and-technique/24137/what-do-you-wear-on-your-feetI&#39;ve signed up to do my first open water swim in a nearby lake and got to thinking about the &quot;entry&quot;. What do open water swimmers wear getting into the water if it&#39;s a shore entry? Sandles that you would take off and throw back to the grass?

Of course that assumes that you won&#39;t hit someone in the head with them. I would definately make sure your tetanus booster is current, however.<div style="clear:both;"></div>
