Workouts for Open Water Swim??

Originally posted by Rob Copeland Leonard had some great points. And just a few more thoughts. For anyone with a fear of what’s in the water, I would recommend reading Shark Trouble: True Stories About Sharks and the Sea -- by Peter Benchley (the author of Jaws). Now before you start thinking this is a Jaws 2, this is a non-fiction work in which Benchley dispels many of the myths of sharks and other denizens of the deep Many thanks to everyone for the shark advice- I live off of S. Florida so it is an issue (I've actually seen one swim off-shore), but I am aware that 1. most species of sharks do not maul people, 2. and statistically speaking, I have a far greater chance of (g-d forbid) getting hurt in a car accident, et. c., and 3. that I should be more concerned about man o'wars. BTW- Statistically more people in the USA are killed by pigs than by sharks I didn't know pigs could swim... :D
