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?

hey everyone! thank you so much for sharing your stories with me. i really appreciate you responding. knowing i'm not alone in that i just want to get out there and do it makes me that much more confident in doing it. :D swimming in open water seems so much more appealing than in a pool (flip turns get old after a while) so i can't wait to get out there and do it!
thanks for the tips about triathlon and swimming groups. i'm looking to move to seattle or chicago, so it was great seeing places for swimming mentioned there. plus having friends interested in the same thing would be great.
thanks again for sharing with me! i hope to hear more from you, and good luck with your swims! maybe i will see you out there!
