I think all swimmers have that fear. Grew up a competitive swimmer and open water terrifies me. I do it but I do it scared 😂

100% this mental game is the hardest part of open water swims

Opening my eyes underwater in a lake is literally one of my favourite things

Realistically, the worst thing that will come for you is a Muskie or a Pike and that’s extremely rare. You’ve got this!

Avid pike and Muskie angler here, you don’t have to worry about no freshwater fish like some people commented.

Felt this. I signed up for a triathlon and I’m terrified about the swim

What’s the worse that could come up from at abyss? You got this. Focus on your stroke, your breathing, get into your zone. When you finish, you can look back and be proud. Good luck

When I did my tri, the rope anchoring the buoys in places freaked me out. The light would hit them just right and the rope never seemed to end. I’m a decent pool swimmer but open water is a totally different beast.

Idk but I’m so proud of you. Doing an Ironman is so awesome and doing it scared is even cooler.

The key is always swim in pairs, with someone slower!

Omg you sound just like me. Jaws is coming to bite my leg off and a dead body is gonna float up from beneath me.

i also keep my eyes closed when i’m not turned to breathe, the best thing to do is learn to meditate with the fear, welcome it and accept it. focus on how it feels/ what it feels like and observe it without judgement, good luck!

Use to swim in a secluded lake with know one around for miles. 4 hrs north of Toronto. Closest thing to heaven. Felt reborn.

just google what fish/freshwater creatures live in the area and their behaviours. you're in Canada - you'll quickly learn that the scariest thing around are bears and they ain't coming from underneath ya.

Breathing, breathing, breathing and eyes looking forward on the finish line. Nothing else matters. Looking forward not down.

Another Triathlon Guy :
Stay closer to the kayak/boat would be my solution and focus on keeping the same distance I would to another swimmer during the race. My alternativ solution would be to not do it and stay in the pool cause it scary 💀
