The La Jolla Roughwater Swim is likely the most rough swim start of any event I have participated in in the last decade. The tight cove, combined with the I've-been-in-a-designated-lane-all-my-life swimmer psyche creates a very abusive swim start. Goggle suck, punch, elbow and nudge make this a very adventurous swim start. This is the start of the Gatorman - the 3 mile swim. You're first instinct may be to hit back - but don't. Roll with it.

I'm the guy way out in front on the left - this is just before the rest of the swimmers swam over me in a sprint before they got tired and I passed most of them again. lol.
My great friend Glynn, and the youngest Gatorman participant, 9 month old Ripples - the first person under 1 year old to make the entire 3 mile swim in under an hour.
