Exploring open waters presents an exhilarating yet challenging experience that plays with the mind. The vastness, unpredictable conditions, and absence of pool boundaries can induce a sense of unease.

If you find yourself apprehensive about diving into open water for a swim, rest assured, you're not alone. Todays show aims to provide you with practical tips and psychological strategies to overcome any anxiety associated with open water swimming.

Each open water swim introduces its own set of unique fears, such as fear of deep waters, chilly temperatures, limited visibility, encounters with marine life, concerns about algae-induced sickness, and the anxiety of not completing the swim.

The initial step towards conquering these fears involves acknowledging their presence. There's no need for shame or denial; just recognizing and accepting these fears is the first stride towards overcoming them.SHOWNOTES:
