I love to swim in places where I can see the bottom. So, I don't mind snorkeling in the Caribbean, but I can't seem to get excited about open swimming in other places.
I'm not trying to be controversial here, I was just wondering what is it about OW that you like, beyond the obvious reasons such as not confined to a pool/lane, it is outside, no flip turns, etc.

I agree with what everyone has said so far.
For me, it's also about swimming in open sunlight. I was in the Bahamas a few months ago, and I swam in their outdoor pool at dawn. There's just something about doing the backstroke and being able to look up and see clear blue sky. For me, it's invigorating for the soul.
