Aquatic Park - Open Water Swim!

Today was our second open water swim which was held at Aquatic Park. I am grinning like a maniac because I had already tested the water and determined that it was freezing. One of the exercises of the day was practising mass starts. Although there were only about 50 of us, it was quite an experience with all of us charging into the water at the same time. It is quite challenging trying to swim in amongst so many limbs while maintaining the right direction. At several points the guy behind me managed to swim over me. It was an interesting experience. However, I guess that it will be a little more difficult when we have to start with 2000+ people.
