Also, when you are swimming in open water you must be able to see where you are going, and depending on the distance, you may even need nutrition — if it's a long open-water swim.
Latimore also says there are devices that you can strap to your waist or leg that act as safety flotation devices. But remember: open-water swimming alone is not an option.Familiarize Yourself With the Water and Take Safety Very Seriously That means looking at the waves, noting what time of day it is and how many people are in the water, identifying where the lifeguards are, and chatting with locals about the water conditions. If you're in the ocean, Latimore suggests speaking to surfers, too.

Latimore says wearing wetsuits can give you a sense of security to depend on and will help you retain body heat if the water temperature is below what's comfortable for you."It may be necessary for beginners depending on their confidence and skill level," Latimore adds.
