Wow, this is what I call true entrepreneurial spirit! Being so biased and still pushing yourself to do it, you must be a very curious person! In the positive sense. Congrats! Felicitari as the Romanian say.
Oh, and one more thing, in Hungary each summer the Lake Balaton Cross Swim is organized. It’s 5.2K swim, from coast to coast, maybe you could enter? The next step could be to swim across the Channel.
Good work sir – it’s good to see people facing their fears, and enjoying themselves!
As far as your shortsightedness goes – I am very shortsighted too, there are a couple of pairs of goggles on the market that are prescription. Have a look at the Aquasphere Eagle – http://www.prescription-swimming-goggles.co.uk/Eagle.html

Eugh!

Well worth it.
Best wishes with the swimming. Dan
