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.

It is a completely different feeling than going back and forth in the pool. Especially in Sweden where we have long and cold winters it is wonderful to be able to swim outdoors. I start swimming in one of the few outdoors pools and as soon as the temperature allows me I will enjoy swimming Open Water.
It also gives me great workout!!
