Is there a reason why you can't get contacts?? and answers might be...wear your glasses in the water. I know that sounds pretty bad but I used to go swimming with glasses when I had them. Actually scratch that. I jus remembered one time where I almost lost my glasses in water hahaha. Okay so maybe you could get prescription goggles? Or buy those huge scuba goggles and wear your goggles underneath.

I have the same problem too, but as a swim teacher, so I used to use a old pair of glasses.
Did you know that you can now get prescription swim goggles, they work quite well from what I was told.

I wear glasses and have a pair of prescripted swimming goggles. You can get it anywhere on the web. They come in negative 2.0, 2.5, 3.0, 3.5, 4.0, 4.5 and etc; only like $3x. Just get the nearest one. If you want the exact degrees, you need to go get it at a retail store, which is more expensive.

My friend had glasses and didnt have contacts on the swim team. She was very good so I guess you wouldn't have any problems.

Talk to your eye care pro. They may make perscription goggles.
