How do people who can’t see well swim without contacts?

726 viewsOther

You’re not supposed to sleep, shower or swim with contacts. Sleep- easy. Shower-fine I imagine. But how do people who can’t see swim? I don’t see people (ie adults) wearing goggles at the beach or pool unless they’re long distance swimmers. Do people wear prescription sunglasses to lounge in the pool? Like what is the deal?

There are indeed prescription sunglasses- most preferable option for lounging and pool swimming (easy to find if they fall off from say, sending a cannon ball).

Open water, usually folks can see enough to make their way back to shore / floating object (boat, paddle board, etc) they swam from, and then pu their glasses back on.

FWIW, there are prescription swim goggles too but as you said, not many adults rock those at the beach.
