Tried aquthlon in Club La Santa last week for the first time (not having swam for about 20 years).
Wasn't as far behind as I thought I might have been after the (admittedly short) 200m swim, but made up for that by winning prize for longest transition ever! ........ realised I'm too shortsighted to find my trainers without my glasses! Duh!!!!
Does anyone know if you can get prescription goggles made up, and where?
Many thanks

Or swim in your contacts if you wear them, I do and it's always fine.
I was always told that .... never tried swimming in them (except backstroke).

I'm not sure about the chlorine thing, I wear mine every swim session which sometimes means 5 or 6x 90 min sessions a week, and they're OK (they are monthly disposables, though, but I am very bad at cleaning them!)
Thanks for that.
I just need to work out how to swim properly now!

Swimming will probably feel much easier when you can see!
Another option if you are worried is to keep your previous days pair in saline in a case and swap them to swim, then pop the newer pair back in after your swim. This is handy if you are swimming at lunchtime or in the morning and have to wear your lenses for the rest of the day, especially in a pool with lots of chlorine, as most eyewashes (eg optrex) aren't compatible with lenses.
I used them for Prescription Running Glasses but they also do swimming goggles. They seem to be the best value.

PPB.
not the sleekest best featured goggles... but they seem to work (i.e. she has one less excuse for acosting strange men in the pool)
I'm so blind I once had to be helped back to the lockers (because I couldn't find mine) after a swim.
Thanks for all the advice though, will look into these options.

Only downside is they scratch v easily so handle with care! I've ended up scratching mine to hell.
