When we observe the start and first initial turns of a mass open water swim, we think of the 3C’s:
- A churning cacophony of competition among elite, competitive types.
- A captivating clamor of camaraderie among older women and swim buddies.
- Charming, collegial and challenging among those who swim slowly or just want to finish and feel a sense of accomplishment.
