Ingrid Loos Miller wrote a fascinating educational book on open water safety called Fearless Swimming for Triathletes – Improve Your Open Water Skills.

Ingrid covers a wide variety of real-life situations in the sport of open water swimming. Her diagrams and explanations of the risk inherent in the sport – that cover everything from sharks to cardiac death – and what to look out for provide gems of wisdom for swimmers of all ages, abilities and backgrounds, especially for those who are new to the sport or have some real fears of the open water.
