Subject: Swimming and Drinking the water
I live way up in the boonies and I do not know of anyone Coaching up here that can help.

When I do open water swims, I "swallow" so much water that when I'm biking or running, it just hurts.

I know that I should keep my face out of the water when breathing, but are there any other tricks that I can use to keep from emptying the lake durring the swim?

thanx in advance

Completely exhale while your face is in the water - that way you can inhale while your face is out of the water. Beyond that, if you are still having problems, focusing on your body rotation in the water will help you have your face out of the water for a longer period of time.
