How do I get involved in open water racing?

• Keep doing the training in the pool with your local club
• Enter indoor races such as indoor 5km Championship
• If already on a distance programme keep to it, you are unlikley to need to change
• Enter District Open water races
• Make sure your first open water event is over a shorter distance
• Having succeded over the shorter distances enter a grand prix distance later in the season

Your performances will improve as your open water skills develop, but the key to success is the speed you have developed in the pool.
