So I noticed that whenever I swim any kind of distance set (like >500 yards) I get pretty aggravating headaches. I'm the kind of person who does get pretty severe, frequent headaches just in general, but when I swim this only happens when I crank up the distance a little. Has this happened to anyone else? I can't really think of a good reason why, and I thought if I could figure out the issue, I may be able to take care of it.
For now I just tough it out and keep going, but it's not really fun as I'm sure you can imagine.
Anyway, if anyone has any thoughts of this I'd love to hear them!
Thanks

Goggles could definitely be the issue since I tend to wear them pretty tight.
In all seriousness...this is probably the cause. Headaches can be brought on by being inadequately hydrated, but my guess is the goggle straps. They don't need to be set really tight unless you might be worried about losing them after a dive.
