Surviving the Waves at Entrance/Exit

Owning The Open Water
http://www.active.com/triathlon/Articles/Start_to_Finish__Owning_the_Open_Water.htm
And I need to find that link again, "How to Swim Straight In the Open Water". I mean, why would you ever want to swim out into the water more than you need to?
