I&amp;#39;m not sure what&amp;#39;s causing them, but maybe you should try another type of goggle, like the Swedish ones...

Good luck!&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: dark spots under eyes</title><link>https://community.usms.org/thread/23802?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Sun, 27 Feb 2005 15:26:18 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:f422b706-b9e2-47df-a080-b2f24ec02633</guid><dc:creator>Former Member</dc:creator><description>I don&amp;#39;t know whether there&amp;#39;s any connection, but when I was first trained in going off a starting block, one of my instructors had the idea that the way to do this was to have me watch a demonstration and then try to imitate it.  Her idea was that they could just correct anything I did wrong.

After some initial embarassing attempts in which I went into the water looking something like a partially folded jackknife, I finally got a sort of decent entry.  But I was aware of a stinging around my eyes whenever I hit the water.  The instructor told me that my head was too high, and I should look down at my belly button as I was going in.

The advice worked, but I later discovered that the damage had already been done:  I had gotten black eyes from the impact of the water!&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: dark spots under eyes</title><link>https://community.usms.org/thread/23789?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Sun, 27 Feb 2005 04:51:56 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:2dabeb1c-98ba-4790-9925-bc517f92581c</guid><dc:creator>Karen Duggan</dc:creator><description>Sorry, I can only relate to dark bags!&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
