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.)
1987 Bradley Beach (NJ) 1-mile ocean swim. I was a 17 year-old HS student. All I remember from that swim was that I kept on swimming into the jetties. It taught me a valuable lesson about swimming in a straight line.:blush:
I think the next swim after that was the Great Chesapeake Bay Swim in 1994 or 1995.
