Here is a clip on Youtube from my Lake Royale Triathlon,

Brian Barndt Open Water Total Immersion Swimming

I left in the 3rd wave of swimmers, all wearing green caps.  It was a 500meter swim, passing 3 buoys, then to the swim finish and transition area.  After reaching the first buoy, I was approximately 8th, then 2nd by the 3rd buoy.  If not for my zig-zag, I would have come out first in my wave.  I finished in a time of 7min15sec, and I am pleased w/ the results.  Best part is how I felt when I finished..refreshed and excited.  What a pleasure to feel stronger in the second half of the swim, with the knowledge I could keep on swimming!
