In season I do at least one OW training swim per week, sometimes two.
I started in May this year, and I'll probably continue with the lake swims into October. The majority of my competitions are triathlons or aquathlons (swim-run). No pure OW swims yet, but that's largely because of scheduling conflicts. I do a few pool meets a year but I much prefer the open water.
Never done it. I would like to try it at least once, whether in a competition or just training, but I haven't yet been able to motivate myself to do so.
about 30-40% of my training may-jun. 80% jun-aug is OW lake.
it really depends on when my last pool meet is and when my OW season starts. usually my first OW race is in July with my last meet in the beginning of June. but this year my last meet was early aug so I had to swim more in the pool this summer than usual
