Open Water

I went swimming in open water (White Loch by Carnwath) last night, so that I can start to get used to it.

I was hoping/expecting to manage OK but it was quite difficult - it's a big jump from swimming in a pool because you can't see anything when your head is in the water.  Even little things like the taste of the water make it different and slightly scary.

I'll have to keep with it - I'm told that it'll become easier - here's hoping.
