Hi swimmers,
I am wondering if and how any of you long distance open water swimmers have overcome the vertigo associated with staring into bottomless blue ocean mile after mile. I know much of it might be mind over matter, but still, how do you prevent the potential dizziness associated with constantly looking into a blue abyss?
I can't find anything online about this. Any suggestions sure would be helpful as I am planning a long ocean swim in a year and a half. Any websites addressing this would also be helpful.

You mentioned the dizziness sets in after about 3 miles; does fluctuating your feeding schedule make any difference? Maybe a quick feed every 10 minutes instead of your normal schedule would help. How about 3-4 minutes of backstroke every mile or so?
