[help]how do you swim freestyle in the beach with no goggles?

Question

i know this sounds ridiculous but last time i went to the beach, my friends were all swimming and i didn't want to because whenever i swim, i always have no goggles now.. & i'm going back to the beach again tomorrow since its technically the last day of school, so i was wondering :

HOW DO YOU GUYS SWIM FREESTYLE WITH NO GOGGLES? :(

Answer 1

if you swim freestyle properly, you should be breathing to side when your arm is recovering (coming up out of water)  this breath allows you to see to side to side.  (you shoudl alternate breathing to ease any neck strain, that would be breathing every thir stroke.  when you don't have goggles, just do this breathing routine instead.  breath right, breath left, and then next breath should be taken looking forward.  this way you can see your "spot".  the point in front of of you that keeps you going straight.  this is how ocean swimmers stay on their line.  also, yo know its okay to open your eyes underwater.  salt water is actually easier on the eyes than a chlorinated pool.  you might not see as well as you do with goggles, but with clear water, you can actually see a little.  enjoy your day at the beach!

Answer 2

Answer 3

I don't.  I also find it difficult to swim freesytle in the ocean because of the waves, so I usually just enjoy the water and do other things instead of "lap" swimming.
