Hi there-
I've never done an open water swim before in my life. There will be a 1-mile swim in July that I'd like to attend (plenty of time to prepare). LC season is right around the corner (sorta)... but any advice that you could give me would be great. I quickly read over the recent article in our magazine about 'swimming tirelessly' - but I just wanted to get some more tips and pointers. I will really only have access to a LCM pool... BUT, I'm going to be vacationing somewhere near the Atlantic Ocean in June - any advice on how I can maybe get my bearings there (for the July swim), too?
Not expecting to be breaking records or anything, I just want to see if I can do it.
Thanks.

for the ocean swim, if it's a shore start i just look at the waves and see where the current will lead me and position myself accordingly. make sure you look at the buoys beforehand at the level of the ocean.
sight at the top of the waves. hopefully they won't be coming in your face.
ocean swims are fun!
