It was pretty cool because there were probably 50-100 triathletes that showed up for practice and they had bouys set up a few hundred yards apart and you could just swim. There were enough people there that you had to do a little swimming in traffic, but not so many that you had to worry about really getting smacked in the face too much, which was great.
Long story short, today was a great open water experience. I worked really hard on sighting, swimming straight and keeping an even ryhthm. I think with a few more practice sessions I'll be in good shape for my next race in July.

so good to hear!!!!! I grew up training for open water swims in California but the churn at the beginning still kinda flips my mind a lil... I try to go out as often as I can.
NICE DUDE! I wish we had a lake around here that offered that. We only have disgusting rivers near by. lol
Glad yesterday's swim went well! Between the hustle and bustle of bath time/bed time for the girls and catching up with you about the rest of your day, I forgot to ask you about your swim. =(
Sounds like this will be a good confidence builder for you and get you some much-needed open water experience! Love you!
