Hi all,
I'm fairly new to open water swimming. This was my first year swimming at Ohio St beach and I only had time for a few swims before Labor Day. I'm not ready to be done with it for the year so I have questions:
1. How late into Fall do you guys swim? If based on water temp, how low can you go with a wetsuit? Right now I think it's reading 65 degrees.
2. Do they have lockers year round?
3. During the summer, it's my understanding that you want to get your swim in before the beach opens and the lifeguards are out (or maybe that's just a crowd avoidance?). Is there any hassle going midday in the fall?
4. Are there usually other swimmers during the week or mainly just on weekends?
Entering races to force myself to get off the couch.
