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?

I've already entered the one mile but would have entered the gatorman if I thought i could make the cutoff. I am a newbie, so I am still jazzedby finsishes and t-shirts and whatnot. I was an ultrarunner in my past life...2hrs does not phase me at all, though i must say my shoulders are heavy today...more spped and more endurance...
