Tips for swimming at Allen Stone this year?

[KristinH]

Hey guys! For my birthday this year, I have decided to do the Allen Stone Run-Swim-Run. I am very excited but have never swam in open water before. I am a decent swimmer, but have no idea what to expect. I guess my biggest two fears are jellyfish and getting kicked in the face. I was wondering if anyone had any tips specific to this race. Thanks

You should give the open water swims starting from Final Kick on Monday and Wednesday at 5:30pm a try...at least you can get aclimated to the open water swimming part. As for the Jellyfish...not nearly as much fun as swimming with the dolphins!!

I like to use those arm floaties or a * up chair with a beer holder.
