We live very close to the lake, and today I finally dared to swim across (alone). I managed not to panic but almost did lose my watch (had to change from freestyle to breaststroke once it got loose). In the end, it took less than ten minutes to swim the 450m or so. My goal for next year is to do this while staying relaxed 😅.

 @810ec5be I know you’re using a coros, but even if I didn’t, this would have given it away ;) 

 @810ec5be I'd say you discovered your love for swimming just at the right time: https://www.triathlondeutschland.de/aktive/wettkaempfe/veranstaltungskalender/09-2023/ironman-703-erkner 

 @810ec5be I love open water swimming! I do it in the ocean all of the time. And one of these things will reduce your anxiety a ton: https://www.newwaveswimbuoy.com/products/bubble-orange

I highly recommend. 

 @810ec5be Triathlon incoming?
