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!!!!

  • I will get to meet you there, swimalison! I will be there. I have done it 5 times. Water temp is usually in the low 70s. It is clearly marked and there are boats everywhere. Good luck. Some of us do the Reston swim a couple weeks earlier to get used to open water. You should come then too. www.lin-mark.com. See you there!
