Hello, I'm new here and I'm rly curious about your reasons, motivations to do open water swimming? For me, it's just like any other sport. Do you have any interesting story about this??
I also find something zen about swimming in the rain and wind. To do so in open water is even better. Sure, it will be rougher water with wind, but I love a good long swim in rough water every now and then. And I'll hope for a balmy water temp of 72 next Saturday at Big Shoulders. Only once in the 8 years (6 swims and 2 cancelled due to water too rough) I've been there has the water been that warm.
