I'm used to close my eyes, but wonder if in open water I should open my eyes to watch for anything harmful or interesting (jellyfish etc). Of course I wear goggles/mask.
Thanks for taking the poll :)

Yes, I close my eyes even with goggles. It makes me concentrate on my movements and I can swim better this way. If I look at the pool bottom, it would make me slow down, reason being that anything you look is still. I do open my eyes when breathing, and occasionally underwater to how observe how someone kicks :)
