I never learned how to and now when I try it makes me very dizzy and is uncomfortable to swim. So I swim *** and back stroke and I'm happy in the pool. BUT, I have been asked by an OW swimmer who why I don't try swimming an OW event. I have the endurance for maybe 1 mile(I swim 2 miles av. per workout), but I would be mortified to be the only *** stroke swimmer. So, are there any OW swimmers out there that don't swim free but still participate in events?

:)I swam Grimaldo's Mile last August at Coney Island in Brooklyn, NY the chop was rough I couldn't see where I was going doing freestyle. I swam a lot of breastroke because I was able to see the direction in which I was swimming. It's what saved me from being a dnf (did not finish). If you have the endurance to swim a mile doing the *** stroke - try it. Stay in the back away from the aggressive freestylers; open water is a totally different experience. I encourage you to try it!!!!:cheerleader:
