Am I the only one who swims without goggles?

I don’t really like swimming goggles, that’s why I almost always swim without goggles whenever I can, I’m also curious about your opinions on this and what you think about it

I did 25m without goggles once

My eyes itched for a week

Never again

If you swim laps regularly without goggles, then YES, you may be the only one here doing so.

As a kid I hated goggles, but now chlorine bothers me more. Finding the right fit made a difference.

If you respect your eyes, please don’t ever swim without googles. Some basic research will highlight the risks (conjunctivitis, bacterial infection)…much wiser to swim with googles unless you keep your head above water at all times

I cannot open my eyes under water. I just cannot do it. I dont understand how anyone can.

It takes practice and getting used to

@BELLE Same, I feel like my senses get mixed up if I’m swimming without goggles underwater? I suddenly panic and feel like I’m choking and forget how to swim when the water hits my opened eyes. Happens when there’s water in my goggles too.
