Any tips for a FIRST time OW swim?

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!!!!

    GREAT advice..as I don't think I will be in a wet suit. Just for the 1 mile, seems silly to get a wet suit. Plus, as a pool swimmer, I think a wet suit will be too confining! Brr..I'm cold already thinking of the water. Don't worry - the 1 mile is in fairly shallow and protected water. It's warmer than the other swim. Not the most exciting course, but it is fun. Enjoy. -LBJ
