Great swim for me, even with the people swimming over me and through me.
What would you do differently?:

Very comfortable swim for me next time I might pick it up a notch but being my first this day was about finishing.

Loose my jacket out of T1. Just deal with the cold. I made the mistake of wearing a cycling jacket that acted as a sail for the 56 mile head wind.
