Training allows you to feel the water. I think it’s very helpful, first of all, so you don’t get stressed at the start and fail all your six months of training and all your efforts.
I finally learned how to navigate in the water without drowning and even keep moving forward. I became less afraid of open water. Once you swim here, you’ll be better able to navigate in any water.
I’m preparing to swim across the Volga, and it was an incredible experience, because to swim in a pool and navigate to the neighbors, to the lanes is one thing, but here of the landmarks only trees, and you get lost all the time. It’s very cool and valuable to learn how to navigate, look up properly, and not swallow water. Thanks to the coaching staff.
