Talk:Open water swimming

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Olympics

Is this the same open water swimming that will be in the 2008 summer olympics? if so, this page is horrible and definitely needs to be looked over. I have seen also Open-air swimming. Is this the same thing?

It is open water. This page needs definite revising as it will soon be linked to one of the largest sports network pages on wikipedia. --Jared [T]/[+] 02:38, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Merger

  • Oppose. There is soon to be an olympic sport added to the roster that will be Open water swimming. I strongly suggest that because of this, this page should be kept where it is. If anything, long-distance swimming should be moved here. Really, this page needs to be cleaned up to Olympic standards. → J@red  20:11, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Oppose. The two sports are completely different, as open water swimming is not pool swimming, but swimming in the ocean, rivers, and lakes, a totally different experience. Griot 20:21, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
