It seems to me that you are not wearing any goggles. Is that correct?
Yes it is correct.
I didn't notice that. But since that's the case...I will suggest that you do wear some...especially for the open water. Not for any reason like to protect your eyes or anything (although that would be important). But because, especially for new swimmers, having clear vision in the water just seems to make you more comfortable in the water. And, it has always been my observation that a new swimmer being comfortable in the water seems to contribute to a better stroke.
That being said...I do know experienced pool, and open-water swimmers that go 'sans goggle.' But "experienced" is the key word there.
