I've been swimming competitively in the pool for something like 15 years now, but I am interested in trying an open water race, either in a lake or in the ocean this summer. I have absolutely zero experience in open water other than just playing around at the beach. I've looked around this website but I would like some more info. Does anyone have any good books/websites/resources for someone who wants to try open water swimming for the first time? I'll take any and all tips!
Sebago - Whenever I drive by that lake I think, this should be swum. And the Challenge is not yet overrun with entrants. It's on my to-do list, and thanks for the info!

Here is a list of OW swims (Midwest, extending to Northeast) for 2012. Most repeat on the same weekend from year to year.
