Sighting ๐
Day 2 Open water.
Swimming in open water is a whole different experience to swimming in a pool โ one of the biggest challenges... not being able to see where you're going! โ ๐
Thatโs where sighting comes in.
Sighting is the technique swimmers use to lift their eyes just above the surface to spot landmarks or buoys โ helping them stay on course and swim safely. ๐
