Some tips and hints to help put you a little more at easy; 1. Accept it’s ok to feel nervous! Knowing your nervous will help you face your fears rather than let them take over on race day! 2. Work out what exactly it is that is causing the anxiety. Is it the unknown? Breathing, weeds? Can’t touch the bottom? By narrowing it down you can focus on overcoming that cause. 3. Take baby steps - slow steps either in the pool or shallow open water - little steps each time your in the water will go a long way to settling fears! 4. Do an open water swimming course and/or get a coach! Seriously - it will help massively! 5. Sign up to an event - no better pressure than knowing you need to train for something at a point in the future! FINALLY - Mileage, mileage, mileage! The more you do - the less you will fear and the better you will get! ... 📸 @thatcameraman ... posted on Instagram - https://newaveswim.com/2FyIgaO

Credit to @raya_hubbell_precision_coach : Whose getting back into open water swimming now that it’s warming up!?!? ... For anyone who listens to the @cyclistpod you will know that I’m a bit of a wuss when it comes to the cold... especially in the water!!!!! So my top tip for keeping warm(er) is to double up on your swim cap and keep your head warm. This will help stop warmth escaping from your head! My other tip - Use a swim buoy! Mine is a @newwaveswimbuoy but there are loads of companies out there that make them! Doesn’t matter how good of a swimmer you are in the open water you want to be seen and if you get cold OR more likely get a cramp because of the cold, flotation devices are great to help you rest and recover! Stay warm out there until the water warms up! ... posted on Instagram - https://newaveswim.com/2VJscIq
