Did my first open water wetsuit swim in one of the Hampstead Heath ponds this week. Was a very different experience than pool swimming! No one else around, brown muddy water and no walls to rest on to for a quick breather. Felt a bit panicky at first but got into it pretty quickly. Pace felt very slow but Strava says around 2:30/100m which is decent for me. Must be the buoyancy from the suit that helped. Definitely want to get out there more often!
