- Q What safety measures should I make when open water swimming?
- A Firstly, it is not recommended to start out in open water swimming alone. Consider joining an organisation as a means of staying safe in the water. Being a member of a group will ensure that you’re well versed in some of the necessary safety basics including planning of routes, sorting out appropriate gear and ensuring that you are fit and able enough to do your swim. It is also important to know your stroke technique will hold up in open water. Practicing in pools helps you to become more comfortable and confident at using a particular stroke, which in turn, helps to keep you safe.
