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......

Thanks everyone - I'm erring on the side of contacts. Right now I always train in my optical goggles as when I started masters and swimming in my contacts, the chlorine just irritated my eyes too much. However when I scuba dive (which is rarely now) or go snorkelling I wear my contacts, so I'm used to wearing them in the water to some extent.
LASIK is tempting....then I get all squeamish and park the thought!
