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......

Make sure you bring a pair of glasses along with you just in case. Unless you are truly blind, you will probably be fine finishing the race even if you do lose a contact. But driving home might be a challenge!
Ever since I drove home from a meet with one missing contact, I always bring my glasses along! :)
Oh yes - I always do. Wouldn't find my keys without them, let alone drive home! I actually wear RGP contacts and have had this particular pair for about 7 years - they're my only pair - so even though I'm planning on swimming in them I really don't want to lose one.
I keep thinking I'll need to replace them and thus keep these ones as swimming ones/spares, but they're lasting for ever!
