Hello! I've recently become very interested in open water swimming. I swam a 2.4 last year, and I recently signed up for my first 5k! I'm hoping to participate in the Highland Lakes Challenge in the fall. One day I would love to swim a 12 miler...
Anyway, I'm trying to soak in as much info as I can, and would like to learn what other swimmers are up to.
Can you recommend any blogs or websites? Or even books or biographies about ow swimmers? I have enjoyed reading Lynne Cox's books...she's nuts!
Who do you follow?
Thanks!!!
A few of my favorites (alphabetical order, except for Bob):
- Bob Swims (aka, E=H20)
- chaos
- Chicken of the Sea
- Daily News of OWS
- Darren Miller
- Donal Buckley (LoneSwimmer)
- Jen Schumacher
- Karen Throsby
- Kim Chambers
- Mallory Mead
- Mike Tyson
- Penny Palfrey
- Rob Aquatics
- swimsuit addict
- Throw Me in the Ocean
- WaterGirl
For blogs specific to marathon swimming (not just OWS), there's a good list here.
Also, Karen Throsby maintains an excellent list here.
