Thanks Leslie; great stuff! I wish I read it before my swim in Chicago this past Saturday. The water was really choppy and I had a rough start to the race. One thing that bothered me the most was getting dizzy from alternating breathing on both sides. I had to breath on one side. I also was getting a brain freeze in the front of my head from the cold water. Any suggestions how to mitigate these two (I did not use wet suite).

Thanks again for the info

@Jerry1SKI Well done in your race!! Sounds challenging! Brain freeze goes away with more exposure to cold water - so the more you can acclimate in cold water, the easier and more comfortable it will be! Or, you can use a neoprene swim cap - that will keep your head a little warmer. Breathing every two is fine! Make sure you roll your body to breathe - that will make it easier to breathe in choppy water. Some of the dizziness may have been from the chop. Video about breathing to come soon!

Thanks Leslie, Your videos have helped me enormously during my first open waters experience in 5.5 K swim from San Lorenzo Island to La Punta yesterday. I got lost from sight and ended up completely alone, or so I thought, nobody around me, no kayaks to be seen for a good part of my swim. I´m sure i swam more then 6k due to the current and my lack of experience. Waters got a bit choppy and the wind picked up. It was mostly your tips on mental factors which helped make it to the finish line.
