Comments:

First swim start and it was a nightmare. I was lost in a soup of other swimmers and I could not break free. My stroke was limited, I was punched, dunked and overall abused. It really took my energy and I was greatly concerned about finishing the swim.
What would you do differently?:

Stay on the outside and avoid the soup!
