Hey everyone,
so i have been doing some lake swims, which i have done the last few summers while training for triathlons/ironmans...however this is the first summer i have gone without a wetsuit.
I have done 3- one hour to hour twenty minute swims and on all three i have come out feeling dizzy and light headed. The first two times it was choppy and not that bad, thought maybe i needed to eat more or drink. THen yesterday i did a swim and Lake erie was really wavy (we got a huge storm later in the day) i ended up being sick while in the lake(twice) and feeling nauseated all day---What am i doing wrong??
Is there anything or anyway to change what i have been going through..In all the years i have swam i have never had this Starting to reconsider if i will be able to do a swim marathon...:confused: :(
I had some queasiness today near the end of an open water swim. Was close enough to the finish that it wasn't a major issue. It's the first time I've experienced such a problem, and although my open water swimming experience is pretty limited, I learned to swim in salt water and have spent over an hour at a time there on vacations.
After today's swim, I thought possibly what I experienced could have been seasickness. Surprising but possible. Next time, I'll try the ginger idea.
