Maybe someone can help me out - I swim in the morning then rush to work. Practice ends about 30 minutes before I begin work, so "rush" is the operative word. Here's my problem: despite feeling great from the swimming induced endorphin high when I get to work, I look terrible. I still have racoon eyes from my goggles. www.usms.org/.../cane.gifI look a million years old. Anyone know any tricks, creams, or whatever to combat this? I have tried loosening my goggles, and have switched brands, but ulitmately these alternatives resulted in leaky goggles, and hence, pink eyes. Being a high school teacher, looking old is preferable to looking stoned, but still...

    Well, I've noticed a dramatic change in the skin around my eye area in the last 5 months. I have photos from before I wore these goggles (Aquasphere Kaiman) and after and it seems that the aging process would be more gradual. Granted I am 47 but I've always looked young and I can't believe how different I look since June. I've even stopped swimming because of it. I don't want to make it worse.
