I am trying to plan for the 5k open water swim this September in Chicago.
In need of good workouts to kick start the training process.
Does anyone have any tips?
Thanks in advance..!
I believe that there are several masters groups that have training for OW swims. You might want to check around your area, since you are in Chicago there are likely a lot of people training for this.
When a colleague of mine was training for OW, she had the lifeguards take one of the lane lines out and she essentially swam in 2 lanes with several other people to create more waves. Not sure if that will work for you, but it worked for her.
