No. Always wear googles.

No it is not safe. You should wear goggles most of teh time when you are swimming. The chlorine will make your eyes go red when you come out. For the better or worst, you can go without goggles for a few minutes. But more than that, you'll be having red eyes and creep people out when you come out of the pool or any place you swam.

yeah goggles are good
try before buying because some professional models hurt.
You don't have to get your eyeballs almost sucked out just because you wanna swim a bit.
The ones with some rubber around are usually comfortable.
Have fun swimming :)

erm... also read swimfreak's answer above me.
I didn't know there was such a problem with that material. There are different models though. There must be some that are both comfortable and healthy.

I swim year round.
YES ALWAYS WEAR GOGGLES, unless the goggles you own have a foam seal to keep the water from getting in. Throw that kind away it grows bacteria and will get your eyes to react werid.
PS- 30 minutes isn't really that long. You wont die if you dont wear them, however if you plan on swimming 2,3, ect hours a day you HAVE TO.

i think you should wear goggles becase when im swimming under water and i opened up my eye's and after i got out i got to read eyes froem the water.So i would buy goggles for swimming laps around the pool.

Do your eyes hurt or have problems when you swim without goggles? If yes, then you should get them.
Is the water dirty? If yes, then you should get them.

my eyes burn when i swim laps... def. get goggles... if you swim without them... and your eyes are all burny and red... add a few drops of milk to them. its way better than eye drops... the ph in the milk neutralizes the chlorine.
