tried to get my face in so I could go faster but it was so congested I kept getting kicked...not good at navigating under water.
What would you do differently?:

not sure...if I had gotten away from the people I would have swam a lot farther so it would have evened out.

Bought yankz...didn't use them, just prractice t1 more I guess.
