so I am going to Galveston next weekend.
I have been looking around for good options to do open water swim practice, but still not sure what the best options are.
some sights warn about strong rip-tides on the gulf side that make it dangerous.
when I was there two years ago, I remember that by noon the waves were such that open water swimming on that side would be so choppy as to not really be helpful. and you can't seem to swim legally on the more protected side.
I have been wondering if very early in the morning the waves on the gulf-side will be more manageable?
still wonder if anyone has any ideas as to the best place to do open water swims on the island?
and as an aside, Ironman really should schedule a practice swim for the event on Saturday with the entry fees they charge!
