Open
Water Swimming For Beginners
Open
water swimming is a never ending adventure. Some of my favorite memories are
from open water swimming: leaving from Catalina Island for the California
mainland at 1AM on a windless moonlight night, watching the phosphorescence
glow as my arm pulled through the water and fish dart below; open water
swimming in tandem with my husband, Dave, silhouetted against the beautiful
blue Caribbean water off the coast of St. Lucia. There is a freedom and
challenge to open water swimming which just can't be experienced in the pool.
Besides that, open water swimming is FUN!!
Other
memories include the sense of fear before beginning a 42 kilometer swim in
Newport Vermont, which heads north up Lake Memphremagog toward Canada and a
foggy memory (due to mild hypothermia) of finishing in Calais, France after
crossing the English Channel. There was also the exhilaration of conquering
tough cold conditions or large waves and chop, swimming and finishing races
despite mother natures' indifference to my plight.
