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.)

... Open Water swimming strikes me as one of the purest and most beautiful sports -- in touch with nature, immersed in your element -- it gives you an appreciation for the universe you don't get from many other activities. The experience has changed my relationship with the river (as I re-route my commute to pass it everyday) forever. I hope to be able to pursue this exhilarating activity much further.

I remember watching that abysmal Kevin Costner movie, Waterworld, and all I could think was...how cool is that, water everywhere, you can swim all the time!!! :D
