Never really been into it, but started swimming in the open sea to start off the day. My own 100 to 100k (100mins in the water).
Only a few days in and it’s doing wonders for my energy & posture.

Swimming is great, swimming in the sea is wonderful.
I participated in my first open sea swimming event last weekend. Swam 1km in the company of more than 400 others. (Out from the beach, around some buoys and then back to the beach.) Planning to go in another event next month which will be a mile (1600m) and then a 2km event the month after.
But meanwhile my regular swimming is in a chlorinated pool. It's a nice pool but the sea is obviously far nicer. So you're indeed lucky if you can swim in the sea every day.

Congrats rockstar. Hope you didn’t get a face full of hands and feet for the event. I have heard from people that do triathlons that competitive swimming can be quite brutal at the start.
I am indeed lucky. But it’s early days to see if I can keep it up.

You swim 100 minutes to start your day?

Submerged like a whale for that time. Swimming for the bulk of it.
