What is Open Water Swimming?

Open water swimming takes place in outdoor bodies of water such as open oceans, bays, lakes, rivers, canals, reservoirs, etc....

(Fédération Internationale de Natation Amateur (FINA). The belief is widely held that swimming is the best exercise in the world as it works your whole body)

Triathletes competing in open water swimmingThe modern age of open water swimming is sometimes taken to be May 3, 1810, when Lord Byron swam several miles to cross the Hellespont (now known as the Dardanelles) from Europe to Asia.[1].

In the first edition of the modern Olympic Games in Athens in 1896, the swimming competition was held in open water. In 2000, the Olympic Games newly included a triathlon with a 1500 m swim-leg. In 2008, The Olympic Games newly included a 10 kilometer swim. 5, 10, and 25 km open water races are included in the General Fina World Championships.


*BASIC SUVIVAL SWIM*

Front crawl is the fastest swimming style.
Trudgen (also known as trudgeon): The trudgen is similar to the front crawl, except that it is swum with a scissor kick, similar to that used in the breaststroke.
Trudgen crawl: Similar to the trudgen, but with the use of a flutter kick (up and down leg kick) between the scissor kicks
Double trudgen: Similar to the trudgen, but the sides of the scissor kick alternate
Double trudgen crawl: Similar to the double trudgen, but with a flutter kick between the scissor kick alternate

Principles
TI starts from the basis that traditional swim instruction - such as that offered by the Red Cross - focuses on getting the swimmer through the water as fast as possible.[citation needed] TI instead focuses primarily on efficiency and comfort in the water, and emphasizes form over conditioning; the swimmer's form in the water is more important than the swimmer's speed through the water.

The style of swimming it stresses can be beneficial to entry-level swimmers and also for distance swimmers, as the goal is to make swimming more natural. TI approaches swimming as a mindful practice done in the spirit of yoga or tai chi. The aim is to become more self-aware and to feel "one with the water." Lap counts and pace times are considered less important than improving one's efficiency.

The instruction focuses on four essential skills, which are non-instinctive and counter-intuitive to most swimmers.

Balance - the body is level in the water, with the head farther down and the legs farther up than is instinctive.
Active Streamlining - reducing drag as much as possible, and keeping the longest possible body shape in the water, to increase efficiency.
Rhythmic Weight Shifts - using weight shifts to generate force uses less energy than simply using force to pull
Friction - actively discovering what generates the most friction, and a focus on "holding onto your place in the water" instead of pushing forward.
