my girl friend takes them off when she goes swimming. But it depends on your eyes and if you are with people who will look out for you. You have to be very careful if you do take your glasses off.

Well...if u need to be able to see then yes! But if you can see ok without them then its best to leave them off. I would say contact lenses are your best bet tho, i wear them swimmin all the time! Altho, don't open ur eyes underwater/get splashed directly in your eye! Trust me, contacts are great!
Oh, you can get prescription goggles from Tesco (ones with opticians) and normal opticians. I had some, they were rubbish for the type of swimming i used to do (competition swimming), but i think they should be fine for just leisure swimming.
Hope that helps xx

Get contacts then you won't have to worry about it, really no you shouldn't wear your glasses while swimming. What if they came off and you lost them in the water? You would have no way of finding them.

It acutally wont make a difference if you leave them on or not while swimming, the only fear is if there are kids messing in the pool with balls should they be knocked off your face, it will not do any harm to the galsses while swimming though, i do it all the times i go away on hols!

I wear glasses myself and you can leave them on. But you must be certain that they cannot slip off when ypu come up our when you jump into the water. I tend to use sport glasses which have a hook to keep the glasses on you head no matter what...
Hope that's a help :)

No, never leave your glasses on when you go swimming...you may lose them and in that chance you can ruin them. If you don't lose them but use them, you can ruin your glasses. I say no. But use goggles...feel free to do that. I guess you can say you can use your glasses as long as you have goggles on if you are gonna be swimming underwater.

No way, dude. Whatever happens, swimming with your glasses on can have extremely harmful and unpredictable consequences.

From one glasses wearer to another - take OFF when you go swimming, they will only fall off and get broken.
