Hi All,
After my second bail out in as many swim attempts, ( Kingdom swim 10miler and Lake Seymour double-loop 3.5 mi) I'm beginning to get frustrated with my weakness or fear of swimming through what I would call extreme chop. I completed some long serious swims in the past, ( the 10 miler last year and Lake Champlain in 2008) But I'm beginning to lose confidence in scary water. Any advice?:badday:

pattie - I failed to note you have had some very long swims. it is possible big chop is simply too much.
I was plucked from the chesapeake bay bridge swim, and was joined on the boat by approximately a half-dozen other swimmers... between them, they had completed the swim on other occasions more than a dozen times.
my point is you might want to check on the number of DNFs in your particular races - perhaps a number of persons chose to pull out too.
