When swimming in open water, swim with a buddy or group.

Training

Swim technique

Go Video yourself

If you can get someone to video you while swimming, it can really help to show you how you can improve your form.

Swim often

Focus on technique

Good technique is MUCH more important than strength in swimming. Focus on your technique.
