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?

All good stuff for getting started. One thing I would add is don't go alone. Venture into open water with another swimmer, preferably someone who has been there before. Learn to sight landmarks and your swimming partner as well.
Enjoy the adventure, it opens up a whole new swimming world.
