So which should I wear for my OW swim? Thought I'd do contacts as that way I'll find my way to the start more easily before I put on my goggles. Then I was talking to someone yesterday who pointed out that you will get swum over at the start, so I'm now worried about my goggles getting knocked off and thus losing my contacts, and hence having no hope of seeing where I'm going.
Answers on a postcard please....on second thoughts - let me try a poll...
Ok poll seems to have gone.....just answers on a postcard then......
I wear contacts and have done lots of open-water swims. I have never had a problem with losing my goggles while getting run-over. I have had my goggles start to leak and almost fall off during a race and have had to stop to fix them but it was not a big deal. If you do get your goggles knocked off, you won't necessarily lose your contacts.
