Ok. So I've been a competitive swimmer my whole life. Love the pool but not CRAZY about swimming anywhere else.
I have done 1 OW swim YEARS ago in the ocean. But that was so long ago.
Doing the CB Swim for the very first time (1 miler).
Can you give me some tips? Just anything...I am in the dark when it comes to OW!:dunno:
THANKS!!!!
Have fun!
For me, the biggest factor is the cold shock--definitely get in the water before the race if you do not have wet suit. Or, do some jumping jacks or running sprints. Swimmers don't seem to warm up like other athletes (you should be sweating a little at the start of a race).
