In the past I didn't wear the swimming glass when I swam. But yesterday I tried to wear the swimming glasses to swim and I felt great. My eyes felt better and I could see things clearly.

I think it is better to take off the contact lenses when you go to swim.

It can really help to wear the glasses when you swim. We call them goggles here. There are some pretty strong chemicals in the pool and the goggles can really make a difference in keeping them out of your eyes.

The under water vision will be improved greatly if we put on the goggles when we swim. It's especially important when we are swimming in the sea. The salty water is almost unbearable if we swim without the goggles. It will take some times before our eyes get used to it. Those who have near sighted problem could put on one with focusing power will help them to clearly in the water too.

Vision under water is important to me. Because it would bring more fun if we can see things clearly in the water. Besides, it's also for safety purpose if we are swimming in the sea. We can see our surroundings to avoid obstacles. Thanks for your response and have a nice day!

Thanks a lot for the BR given. Hope you could enjoy swimming after discovering the advantages of using goggles underwater. You can see clear vision which you won't experience if you are out of the water. Happy posting and have a nice day!

You are right. It is not only good for your eyes, but also can let us look things clearly in the water.

Yes, I usually wear the swimming glasses. Sometimes I forget it at home. I think everyone should wear the swimming glasses when swimming, it helps protect your eyes better.

I normally do not wear swimming goggles when I go swimming. I don't really like the feel of them, but I love to swim under water and to do that I have my eyes open so that I don't hit the side of the pool. I wish I could find goggles that wouldn't bother my ears and nose when I swim.

Perhaps you just need a little time to adjust to wear the goggles.

I also do not wear swimming glasses when I go for swimming. Here there is a swimming pool available in our place where people goes for swimming. I had taken some swimming classes when I was young. I also think it is good to use swimming glasses and that swimming glasses helps to see much better through the water.

Perhaps you get used to it now. It is better for children to wear swimming glasses because they are easy to be infected.

I don't usually wear swimming goggles but since I began snorkeling its a must. The ocean has very salty water and that can make your eyes sting when you get some in them. Our swimming pool has a lot of chlorine in it and that can irritate our eyes too. I would rather wear sun glasses in the pool because the sun bothers my eyes. Glad you could see better with your goggles.

I don't usually wear goggles. Never really have. I just prefer not wearing them at all. I feel more comfortable not wearing them.

Hi, Firstly I do not know how to swim,so I do not need to get ready a goggle for swimming. I feel regret for not learning how to swim when I was young. I feel shy to learn now and I just hope my son will learn swimming when he grows up.

When we were kids we were not particular in protecting our eyes when we go swimming. However, ever since I tried swimming with my goggles on I discovered that swimming was way more comfortable and I no longer have to suffer from sore, red and irritated eyes unlike when I don't wear eye protection. Since then, I always try my best to bring my goggles every time I go for a swim. Indeed, it also makes everything underwater clearer and even if you swim for hours, your eyes still feel great afterward. I strongly recommend the wearing of goggles whenever we swim. Children should also wear them because they have this habit of rubbing their eyes to ward off the water from getting into their eyes. :D

WHen I was a kid we thought we were so cool wearing swim goggles. There were even multi-colored ones and we all fought over the same color as if the blue goggles were better than the green or red ones. I miss the good old days hehe.

I have never worn goggles when I've gone swimming, but then I've never spent that much time with my head under water. If I did more actual swimming, instead of just playing around in the water, I probably would wear goggles.

I don't use to wear swimming glasses when I swim. I feel it is little uncomfortable to me. One of the most reason why I don't buy them is, I just feel that I don't need it and it will be a just nearly a waste of money.
