Is this a serious post or a piss take?

how do you know your direction if your eyes is closed? Now if you really want a good suggestion, wear a protection for your eyes such as goggles, but with or without goggles, you need to open your eyes to make sure you won't hit a GLACIER! Lol!

Peter Griffin, I hope you understood that he was speaking about protecting eyes while swimming and not becoming blind. I think it's your nature to mock people right from the outset rather than comment positively

Swimming without goggles anywhere is pretty unsafe.

There isn't only chlorine that will hurt your eyes after sometime in the pool, but also dirt, sand, other swimmer's sweat, urine,etc. In the river or sea, that is even worse - oil slick, faeces and other pollutants from dead or living marine creatures. Not trying to freak you out, but is totally true, in reality. Perhaps you could ask some elders who have decades of swimming experience.

The goggles also act as a safety item to prevent other swimmers fingers poking into your eyes because many people are swimming in all directions. So wear one, though it may be a bit uncomfortable. Be safe and enjoy! :-))

Well think about it this way, Most people open their eyes when they swim, and we never hear about people getting blind after leaving the beach.

Plus, google things like this!

Arabian sea water is pretty salty, the eyes will burn if you keep them open inside the water. In fresh waters there's no problem.

Millions of contact lens wearers swim and dive without removing their lenses and without experiencing adverse consequences.

But water exposure — whether fresh or seawater — is a commonly cited risk factor for the development of Acanthamoeba keratitis (a protozoal infection that has a blinding potential) .

It's essential that patients properly disinfect lenses after swimming. It's also prudent that patients never sleep in their lenses after participating in water activities.
