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!
Anyone swim the 1 Mile in Carona Del Mar, Calif.?
Will be my first Open Water Swim ever.
I can swim 2-3 miles in a pool with no problem. I've just have never swum in Open Water. Mostly concernced about getting used to the water termp. I am hoping for high 60's low 70's.
Will wear swimsuit (brief) only. No wetsuit.
Any guidance will be appreciated.
Thank you,
