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!

Not sure where you are going but last weekend I swam from Bethany to South Bethany and back, there are guards the whole way. I think it is a mile or so each way. They were fine, no jetties to speak of.
The wind does pick up out there every afternoon and your into the wind sections will be a little rough, good practice for open water races.
