In that case, I guess I'm partially there. I do like swimming in the ocean past the surf line, parallel to the shore -- but not in rough conditions.
Great!! I'm not advocating one exceed their comfort level, but it does help to wear them short training fins to protect your feet from coral and provide a little bit of extra power in the surf. I do prefer swimming inside the surfzone, so I can take advantage of all the ocean motion tugging and pulling me along. If you can get hold of some Aussie Surf Lifesaving competition videos, it is just awesome to watch them swim in and out of the surf zone while utilizing the sweep. clyde
