What do you see when you swim?

For the last few weeks, I've been noticing what I see when I swim. I have noticed two things about my free stroke. 1. When I do free, I see almost my entire left arm stroke. I breath to my left. I see my hand enter the water, begin the catch, pull to my waist. Then it disappears. I see it then when I roll to breathe. I only see my right hand briefly as it enters into the water. I think this might be because I don't rotate my hips enogh as I pull my right hand & arm through the stroke. Then it reappears as it passes my waist and relaxes. I swam some laps breathing to my right and i saw exactly the opposite. 2. As I begin to flip, I look down, seee my left big toe, then my eyes move to the right foot. As my feet pass over my head I look through the space between my right big toe & the next toe. I was really amazed at how much I can see outside of the pool through this gap. As I roll I close my eyes to blink. Then I look at the left side of the pool for the push off and pull out. I realized that I do this even when I am not thinking about it or consciously looking.

    Crawl , the tiles on the pool bottom, backstroke the warning flags that your getting too close to the wall..which I look out for.. I wear a bubble crepe swim cap for hair care, they are made with little air filled bubbles..for streach, a soft cushioned feel and look in a way, but the cap won't help if I backstroke into the wall! I have seen a couple of swimmers almost get knocked out backstroking with fins..not fun even to watch.Och! all pools should have the warning flags that let swimmers know there approching the wall.
