July 2008 Splashes online edition | ||||
| July 4 | Firecracker 8K Swim (American River) |
1. Wetsuit– wear one that fits and has
been tested before the race. It keeps you warmer and more buoyant. All of these can be practiced at the lake with a “safe” group and without the pressures of a competitive situation. Good Luck! See you at the lake,

Well,
it is that time again– Open Water Swim Season. It’s time to leave the black
line at the bottom of the pool, lane ropes and being able to see—and time to
dive into the Open. Here are a few tips that might help you have a great
time when you’re out there… Consider the differences in Open Water swimming
versus the pool, where you normally swim. The big variable in open water
swimming is the conditions.. You have probably not dealt with 2 foot waves
or more than 4 people even near you in the pool, but you might deal with

conditions. That is the most difficult transition for pool swimmers. So get
out to the lake on Saturdays, even if it’s windy or wavy. Here are some more
tips for an open water race:
