I am hoping some one will have some ideas to this problem. I started swimming in a masters program in July and I love it. But as the 1.5 hour session goes on, I notice that my vision starts to get a little blurry. By the time we are done, I am seeing double. After about an hour or so, it all clears up and I see fine. I wear contacts but they are in place the whole time. This only happens when swiming, I have never had problem like this any other time. Could it be the goggles?I don't have this problem when in a pool just horsing around.

But are your eyes covered tightly when you're running? You're wearing goggles where the purpose is to keep the water out of your eyes. Water contains oxygen molecules and your soft lens (I'm guessing they're soft) are designed to help pass oxygen to your eyes.
Any chance of giving a swim session or two a try WITHOUT the contacts and see what happens. I'm blind as a bat without my glasses--but I swim without any visual correction (I CAN see the black line!). The only problem--perhaps recognizing someone at the end of the pool but you can generally see well enough to keep out of the way of other swimmers and depending on the lane--see the pace clock (ours is a large fonted digital countdown clock)
