I am a pool fish doing 1 hour intervals 3-4 times a week for a couple of years. This year on 15th of July (within a week) I will attend an oper water swimming organization in Bosphorus.
It is 4 miles along the Bosphorus.
Pool temperature I train is 78 F and the sea temperature in the race will be 68 F.
I have 3 questions:
1. what would you recommend me to eat and how many hours before the competition?
2. shall I use some kind of oil to apply to my skin?
3. all kinds of tactics and recommendations are welcome
thanks in advance:help:

I'm doing the Newport, RI Save the Bay Swim and have too been training in a pool. I'm not much of a swimmer and this is my first venture into swimming. I would consider myself a runner that wants to be a swimmer too :-)...
I'm going to use a wetsuit for the Bay Swim and see how it goes. I've been using zoomers and paddles to get my stroke and kick down with a bit more power. I'm looking forward to some more swims especially once I move out to Hawaii.
