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......

If you wear soft disposables or RGP rigid lenses, they will come out in salt water real fast. Soft disposables work fine in the fresh water pool playing water polo, but are just too loose a fit in salt water. Tighter fitting custom made soft lenses have a better chance of remaining on the eye than disposables in salt water. :)
I'll be swimming in a lake, so freshwater I guess, but I'm now intrigued - why do they come out easier in salt water?
