WMO coaching WMO clinics guestbook interviews ... event listings fish stories more articles What is Open Water Swimming? Jellyfish, Seaweed, and Sharks Oh My! Swimmers are known for their creativity and ingenuity. Melvin Stewart's 'breathe-to-the-side' butterfly, Mike Barrowman's 'wave-style' breaststroke and David Berkoff's backstroke 'blast-off' were all new and ingenuitive developments in swimming. Karen Burton and Chad Hundeby are two swimmers who are changing swimming as well. Burton is the National Open Water Team Coordinator, as well as the 1993 25 kilometer open water national champion, and Hundeby is the first man to swim 25 kilometers in under five hours. In a sport that is recentlty experiencing a new surge in popularity, these two national champions are veterans. Open water swimming traces its roots back to Captain Matthew Webb, the first man to cross the English Channel back in 1875. At that time, the glory of finishing a long and dangerous swim was the reward. The sport has evolved into a competitive endeavor with time being an important factor and strategy often proving the decisive one. The popularity of open water swimming has encouraged the formation of an open water committe by the international governing body of swimming (FINA) and a professional circuit in Europe. What defines open water swimming? It is obviously a swimming race that takes place almost anywhere except in a pool. But there is much more to it than that.

Advertising Free Credit Report Free Psychics Advertisement There is more to swimming than just doing lap after lap, turning when you reach the wall at the end of the pool. You can swim in places with no walls - open water. Lakes, oceans, and rivers offer a great change of scenery - go to your local beach for today's workout instead of more laps in the pool. Depending on the reasons you swim, you may find it more psychologically rewarding; it can certainly be just as productive for building your fitness.

NMSC September/96 Newsletter 1996 Open Water Swimming From the NMSC Archive (by Don Clinton) The combination of fresh water, fresh air and even the occasional sunshine is a pleasant change from the warm (25 C) chlorinated pool we swim in all winter. This past summer I had the opportunity to train in a number of lakes and rivers including: Brockville (St Lawrence River at the rowing club) Buck Lake (Close to Westport on Highway 10) Charleston Lake (Provincial park near Brockville) Clear Lake (Close to Crosby on Highway 15) Meech Lake (both ends) Norway Bay (Ottawa River close to Shawville on Highway 148) St Marys quarry (between London and Stratford) One of the most enjoyable aspects of open water training is swimming with a buddy. This adds a social dimension to training which for me helps sustain my fitness activity and during most of the summer I was joined by others who were either swimming or kayaking. Open water training can also be fascinating and profitable if you watch the bottom as you swim. Rick Taylor found $95 on the bottom of Meech Lake this summer during one of his swims and I saw quite a variety of fish, clams, golf balls and weeds during mine. Yes, weeds, there are almost always weeds floating in open water and getting used to them after swimming in filtered water can be a challenge. A few encounters with them and you quickly realize that they are harmless and if you react gently to them they simply slide off your skin. The only training incident I had this summer was at Charleston Lake. As I swam along the shore in deep water I was struck behind the knee on a nerve, it scared the daylights out of me. It turns out it I was hit by a swimmer from the public beach who was playing a practical joke. When I stopped dead in the water and raised my head the swimmer laughed and asked if I thought I had been bitten by a fish. His question didnÕt deserve an answer and I continued on my swim.
