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 just wear my Swedes. Which color depends on the weather. I'll normally break in a new pair for a race, since they stay fog-free better for the first week. I've never had a visibility issue with them, and they are the most comfortable goggles I've worn yet.
