For Karlyn, the most effective way to sight in open water is to look up…sight…turn and get a breath.   Look up…sight…turn and get a breath.

The idea is to stay low so that you don’t upset your balance.  Take quick snapshots and get your head back down and your hips up.

Look up…sight…turn and get a breath.  Look up…sight…turn and get a breath.

If you sight without a breath, there’s less chance you will catch a wave and inhale water – and nobody wants to do that.
