New to swimming, been practicing with my local masters group for about 6 weeks and am slow but fairly strong. Finally have a vacation planned! When I'm at the beach, I'd like to keep up my workouts in the ocean. How do lifeguards take to fitness swimmers? Am I going to get the whistle for crossing over jetties or going out further than most? Any etiquette i should know? Thanks!
