I had a teammate many years ago who kept drifting over the center black stripe while "circle swimming". Lots of collisions. Eventually she admitted that she just found it much more relaxing when she closed her eyes while swimming. Yes, her goggles worked fine... otherwise, she was a truly inspirational woman, raised a large family (7 kids?) of national caliber swimmers working fulltime many of those years. I do imagine that she needed her relaxation time.
