We can all see underwater. The story is about how these children can see far clearer underwater than other people.

Do you mean that you can see with total clarity? From back when I had good eyesight, I remember seeing blurry when opening my eyes underwater.

Not OP. When I was a kid I could only see blurry shapes underwater, until one day it was like something clicked and suddenly I could see as clearly as in air. I have no explanation, just an anecdote, and my vision is now poor everywhere.

Not the op, but I could read my wrist watch underwater. Things get fuzzy at long range, but not out of focus. More like looking through a light fog.
