For the past couple of years I've vacationed in FL...in the Tampa/St. Pete area....Treasure Island, Madera Beach, Gulfport......always go to the beach...but I never see anybody going for a long swim. Water is great, no waves...mostly in the Spring. Is there a shark issue?

We're about 90 minutes south of there and have a few groups meeting for OWS a few times a week. Races are in the Gulf as well.  I'm not sure why you don't see folks up in that area doing the same.

There are tri groups that do ows, but the two I know of are on clearwater beach and passagrille beach. Mostly at 6pm or early weekend mornings, when most people are off work.

I do most my swimming the Gulf, but a little further south. I think there's a tri club up there that does their swimming indoors, so maybe they attract a good share? Interesting observation because I see people down here swimming all the time.

I quickly browsed an article in Men's Health that talked about doing a triathlon, and how it wasn't really that hard. With a "tsk!" I quickly turned the page while thinking, "Yeah, right!"

The swim is ALWAYS a cause for concern when it comes to competing in a triathlon. This is the event for which you need to concentrate on RELAXING.
