Swimming in chop

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'll be at Lake George this weekend too. Hoping for a great weekend weather-wise, as we will be camping. And I'll keep my fingers crossed for chopless too, for your sake. Looking forward to some great swimming in just a few days! Hi Sydne! Yeah, I'm a bit terrified about weather and conditions. It's freezing in the morning here in NE. It'll be colder up there! I am really hoping I can get over this hump and finish the dang thing. But a loop course is even tougher to finish if the conditions aren't ideal. Plus, I'll be pulling up the rear still soaking up the lake while your on the beach soaking up the rays! :cane: Anyway, it'll be good to see you.
