Swimmers-I heard from a seasoned swimmer yesterday that in order to swim 500m in the ocean (open water) you need to be able to swim double that (1000m) in the pool to account for the waves, current, etc. What's your take on this? (I'm going to post this in the forum as well to see what people think)

    naaa, the wetsuit will make up for some of that. You should do a practice swim to figure out waves and get a feel for it.

    I am sorry to agree but that is exactly the advice I give to people.

    Damn. I am up to 600m straight with 6 weeks to go. Think I can get to 1000 by then?
