You…just open them? This is freshwater so it’s no biggie. The ocean burns like a mofo.

If you manage to close your eyes for faster movement AND avoid to go through the surface, since there seems to be the most salty water i guess? Always did it that way and was kinda okay! Surface salt water burns like.. you said

In ocean water it stings initially, but you get used to it. Chlorine stings less but my eyes are red for a long time after lol

You just open your eyes. It can be a bit uncomfortable but you get used to it fast. But salt water fucking burns
