Please forgive me if this was previously posted, but I was hoping you could all recommend a good pair of goggles for swimming in VERY bright sunlight. While I absolutely *love* swimming outside (we only have the luxury of that in PA for only about 3 full months of they year... heavy sigh...), the bottom of the pool is also a stark white with blue stripes, so if I'm not swimming backstroke, I'm squinting underwater from the bright colors. It's so bad, I try to swim with my eyes closed when I can, just so I can give my eyes a break for a moment.
I recently purchased some Speedo goggles ("Vanquisher") that clearly say that they protect against UV rays, but even with the dark lenses, the squinting is killing me and I keep getting bad headaches.
So, fellow swimmers, are there any goggles that you like that really help with glare?
Thanks so much for your help - I greatly appreciate it!

Look for the Vanquisher Plus or any other kind of mirrored/metalized goggles. These make a huge difference for swimming in the sun.
I'll second that advice. I swim outdoors all year, and mirrored is the way to go. Speedo Vanquisher Plus being my choice for the past few years.
