swimming with eyes open

HOW THE **** DO YOU GUYS DO IT??

I find it amazing! I was using my goggle today and one of my date opened her eyes and end up choking cause she was laughing I need one and she doesn't, so a lot of kino was done

but that's not the point

the point is

HOW?!! I thought it was the movie only!!

This is retarded.

How can you NOT swim with your eyes open? Its not difficult.

Anyway, you should avoid opening your eyes if in a pool because of the chlorine.

this is not retarded, just because you can doesn't mean others can

when I open my eyes in the water, I feel a shock and it hurts when I remove my head from the water
then I continue to feel dizzy and naseau however you spell that word

Why are you posting about this asking HOW we do it? Its not a physical limitation for you, its just extra sensitive for you. Big deal - wear goggles.

well for god's sake I just want to know how you guys do it, what's so hard about that? jeez

renegade and I wants to know, so answer our question

I'm 18 btw

Keep em open, you'll get used to it. First it's awkward, then i gets easier. If you swim everyday, use eye protection, otherwise, the choice is up to you. However, we're not fish, so you won't see too well without goggles.

How people do it - they go underwater and open their eyes. Some even leave their eyes open as they go underwater.

Well, you wanted to know how people do it right?

If you want to know why some people can and why you can't, well that's already been answered. Some people's eyes are more sensitive than others, therefore those with less sensitive eyes don't get as irritated by water.

My eyes are extremely irritated by water, but even worse, my nose is. I have a deviated septum, and I can't stop water from going into my nose, unless I blow out of my nose the entire time I'm underwater. So I have to wear the goggles that cover your eyes AND nose when I'm in the pool. But since I hate the pool, it isn't much of an issue...we have one @ home, and I havent been in it in 3 or 4 years.

try getting ocean water into your eyes. Once you can accustom yourself to that, the pool will be nothin!

Also, be sure not to think about it. Just dive into the pool and open your eyes right away. The adrenaline should take care of any hesitation and psychologically influenced pain you experience.

 

[Mr. Latte]

Why not just wear freaking goggles, and not care what some random girl thinks? If it makes you more comfortable, do it.

Yea man.

I tried it once and my eyes nearly popped out from being irritated, haha.

Pool water and ocean water both make your eyes dry. I still don't see the problem. Goggles were made for a reason, use them. She was probably just joking so don't take it so seriously. I'm sticking with goggles and I a chick who says I look stupid can go shove it.
