hi everyone! i absolutely love swimming but i'm new to the idea of open water swimming, so i thought this might be a good place to get advice. i was wondering what a good way to get started is and if making the transition from pool to open water is a big deal. i'd really like to be in races like the fat salmon, etc. one day (the sooner the better!). any tips would be great and also, what were your first open water experiences like? ---------------- Now playing: Rammstein - Feuer Frei via FoxyTunes

  • Getting started pretty much entails putting on suit, finding a body of water, swimming in it. Next day: go for a longer time. When you're ready to try a meet, pick a short one, and aim to complete.
