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.

I have had some pretty scary situations in open water when I had any problems when in deep water I had something I would think about. I would close my eyes and think about my six children and would actually visualise. I would also think of a cash register and every stroke was pushing the cash key.
