I did my first ocean swim (2 miles) after decades of pool swimming. I don't think the goggles i wore for the pool are appropriate for the open water. pool goggles are designed for lane lines and clear water. In the ocean, i have to crane my neck up to look for beacons on the shore to navigate by. i think i swam 2X farther than the rest since i was always off course. is there a goggle with a better field of vision for the open water than the ones i use in the pool?

I also use the Seal XP for OW swims. Great visability and comfortable.
Limited coolness factor, but when I saw a picture of the $10,000 Tiburon mile winner wearing them, I figured they would make me faster with less effort.;)
