Open Water Swimming

I started to swim open water swimming when I wanted to train for my first Alcatraz event. Little did I know... I ended up enjoying it more than any other type of swimming I've done so far. Open water swimming is one of the most fun things to do! I love that you can swim any stroke.  Also, I love that there are no lane lines-- you can swim wherever you want to. 

In the year 2014 alone, I have finished these open water swimming events:
