I spent last week in Cape Cod, and was able to get in some swims in the bay. I think I was doing about 400 yards (rough estimate). This was my first opportunity to do some OW swims, so I was psyched! I'm fortunate because I don't have any real anxieties about swimming in the ocean, and actually enjoy it.

I feel like I swallow a LOT of water when I am in the ocean. What am I doing wrong? If it's normal, how do you deal with it before getting on the bike?
