Does anyone know of an area to get some OWS experience around the Baton Rouge area? I have been doing Laps at the Y, But I don't want a Tri to be the first OWS experience.

Driving over to New Roads might be your best bet. If you are a Facebook person look up Fresh Junkies racing and post the question on there. They are the race directors for some local races and they may know some folks who swim there. I know a group from Alexandria do a weekly or bi weekly swim at Indian Creek but that would be a hike for you.

Alot of BR folks do OWS at False River in New Roads, leave from the dock at Satterfields. Bennet's in Zachary used to have OWS but I"m not sure if they still do or not.

I know the Tri New Roads uses that dock for the Swim, but did not know if there would be any objections to just showing up and swimming there. Going to also check out the beach area at Lake Polourde in Morgan City. It looks promising. 300 yds parralling (sp?)the beach sand.
Anybody used this beach?

there's also a "swim hole" in NOLA where folks swim in Lake Ponchatrain. The GNO(greater new orleans) Tri fb page is a good start to check out the OWS there.

MAPS is Meditation, Acclimatization, Practice, and Strategy, which are key for giving you the confidence and skills to execute the open-water swim in a triathlon well.

Stroke after stroke, my pace was pulling me out into the middle of the lake quickly. The cover seemed to be getting thicker. But still in the distance, the little boathouse was my lighthouse.

Some are getting a little OWS practice in, others are strategizing, the rest are just plain scared.
