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.

The La Jolla Cove is the most beautiful place I have ever swam,..I`m getting to love swimming around the kelp,..its like flying over the top of a forest. "swimming" over the kelp is interesting,..it is a great place to rest,..sort of like being in a water-bed.
My husband feels exactly the same way and swims directly to the A buoy to lie on the kelp like an otter. I, however, do not share in your joy and hate the stuff.
