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:

Thanks to you all for your very sound advice and encouragement.
Paul, I thought of you about a half hour later as I did a run around the area to compensate for having bailed on the swim. I thought " He's still swimming, and I s*ck" But I was really a bit freaked out without a wet suit or a personal kayaker in those conditions.
No Willoughby for me this year. BRRRR! I have Lake George 10k ( also a loop course!) coming up on the 28th.
I may be back to NE Kingdom for the 10 miler next year.
