… and in case the tattoo story from the post below this one, also from Steve Munatones’ Open Water Source, isn’t your bag… here’s some light reading you can do over the winter… or something to read while you are getting your tattoo!

PS.  I let them use my picture in this one too!  😉

Open water swimming is considered to be a sport that is 80% mental.

And Sabrina Devonshire stimulates the mental part of readers like few others in her new open water-centric book, The Open Water Swimmer.

In the exotic erotic adventure novel where a hunky swimmer plays a central role, the life-long swimmer who doubles as a romance novelist writes, “The starting gun sounded and Jeff sprinted into the ocean, kicking water everywhere until the density of the water overcame him and it was more efficient to swim than run. A fingernail jabbed his calf. A toe struck his face, partially filling his goggles with water. He slapped arms with another swimmer on a recovery. Jeff plowed through the water with all the gusto he could muster to break away from the mass…”

The Arizona resident explains that her romantic suspense novel “is an entertaining way to learn about the sport.”

I founded LOST Swimming because I like open water swimming and would like to see it grow and thrive in Lake Ontario. I started as a competitive swimmer as a kid and ended up getting as far as a silver medal at Nationals and going to the Olympic Trials in 1988. But I retired after that, I was sick of swimming. So I got into running marathons and have run over 35 to date, as well as a few ultra marathons, including the Marathon des Sables (7 day, ultra across the Sahara Desert). I also kind of fell into triathlons and have done a handful of Ironman tri's too. This gradually got me back in the water and in 2006 I took the plunge and attempted swimming the English Channel. I didn't quite make it across, but the circle was now complete and after 17 years I was a swimmer again! Although I still do plenty of pool swimming, I now much prefer open water swimming and like to say that open water swimming is to pool swimming, what trail running is to treadmill running! As a result I hope to encourage more people to join me for a dip in Lake Ontario as often as we can!
