Open Water Swimming

In the question, I mean freestyle as in the Front Crawl style of swimming. I need to know if the main speed of the stroke is from changing your body weight from left to right or is it from pulling the water.

How to stop water going up nose when swimming?Whenever I try and put my head under water when swimming, it gets up my nose and hurts really badly. I’ve noticed this doesn’t seem to a problem for the majority of people, so I guess it’s something I’m doing wrong. Any ideas what and how I should prevent it? does one blow out under water with their nose and breath through their mouth when they come back up?I tried today and looked like a fool, I inhaled lots of water and could not breath correctly. Eventually I had to just swim with my head above the water. It is stopping me from swimming properly and efficiently!

I can swim in the pool fine and i’m pretty fast, but when it comes to open water i freak out and can hardly breathe and end up doing the breast stroke for most of it. I try to do the front crawl but i can’t see and get off course and just get scared…i don’t know what of though

I just did a triathlon this weekend in a lake and my time was so slow, i got off course a lot, and i kept running into people. I need suggestions for how to get over this and just be able to swim normal in open water. And how do you stay on course in open water? i find it so hard because the water is so murky and you can’t see where you’re going unless you lift your hole head out of the water..
ok this is getting long.. any help would be appreciated.. thanks
like i said i am a good swimmer in pools and i have a lot of experience in pools. I am afraid of swimming in oceans and lakes where its 30+ feet deep. anything shwallower i’m fine.

Many myths surround the ancient island of Cheung Chau. Locals believe that a Water Deity watches over the island, taking the form of a handsome youth. One islander, Gill, claims to have encountered him during her suicide attempt after being dumped by her boyfriend. Gill is convinced that she has been given special powers after being rescued. Afraid that she is suffering from head trauma, her loyal friends Jade, Blossom and Mini-Blossom reluctantly play along with her fantasy. Believing in winning the forthcoming swim meet against her romantic rival Fay will also win her boyfriend back, Gill kidnaps champion swimmer Chi to train her from barely able to swim to master the art of competitive swimming. She imprisons him in the home of eccentric islander Harley. With no release in sight, Chi unwillingly starts to train Gill and her friends. Using unconventional methods, Chi soon boosts Gill’s confidence, and at the same time, the two start to fall for each other. The day of the swim meet comes; the Gill’s team is trailing far behind in the race. Suddenly the Water Deity manifests itself in front of Gill. Will divine intervention help her win the swim competition, overcome her insecurities and find true love?
