I've trained and competed mostly outside since I've been doing Masters and have noticed that I lose some of my excitement when I compete indoors. I can see better and feel more "happy endorphins" when I'm racing outdoors. If you can relate or have found a way to overcome this, please let me know.
My point is do not become an expert at swimming in one pool. Mix it up. Its to your advantage when you participate in swim competitions.
All the pools in Arizona are outdoors so I don't have much choice for training. But when I'm used to breathing dry outdoor air and being in a bright cheerful environment, it's pretty hard to get excited about hyperventilating in the dark. I did try the clear Kayenne goggles out and I can see better in dim light with these...
