Comments:

This was my first OW smim in 8 months a little nervious, I was breathing every stroke the first 100 yards which is not typical for me, I had trouble getting in a good grove, at the turn around bouy I start to get in a good pattern and breath good, it was my first swim that I swam the whole way with no dog paddling or breast stroke.
What would you do differently?:

relax and concentrate on stay focused on my stroke and not what is happening around me
