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 like the feeling when I reach the other side and I see the bottom coming up at me and I can stand again. It's like being in a plane thats landing...I cheated death again!! YEAH!!
I took part in a night swim last week...wonderful...seeing the lights of the shoreline from out in the ocean...nothing like it..ever.
On the down side...I hope Body glied works...I'd hate to need a rashguard!
