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.

After about 10 years of not swimming my times in the pool are not what I want them to be. Doing open water swimming, I have no expectations (or previous times to beat myself up with) and enjoy that. The pure freedom and exhilarating feeling from swimming in large bodies of water can't be beat.
