I was just curious about everyone's "first time". When/where did you take that first plunge into open water??
(I did a search to see if a thread like this had been done and came up empty.)

My first OW swim was three years ago. It was a mile cable swim. I had started swimming for about 6 months when I decided to try it out. (did not swim in college, high school or any team ever) My wife, vetern of many open water swims with my daughters was there to watch. Upon completition of the swim I went to her with a big smile on my face, glad that they did not need to search the water for my body, and said.."how did I do?" she replied, "Your turnover is a little slow"
