Recommendations for googles and lens colors for open water swim

Hello Open Water Swimmers I've participated in a few open water swims over the past few years. My view above the water using regular clear lens googles, when headed in the general direction of the sun, is really poor with clear lenses mainly due to glare. Any recommendations on the type of google/mask and lens color to use to reduce the sun's glare? Thanks Steve Michigan Masters

    Gary Thank you so much for your words or encouragement in the past regarding the Alcatraz Swim. I watched your DVD and was GREATLY encouraged and helped. The worse part of the swim was the night before,..once I hit the water,..I was home,...I was a part of the Bay,..the view of SF was spectacular,..I could not see the top of the Golden Gate,..only a tower,..it was pretty sweet. I took you advise and stopped part way thru,...could you hear me HOWLING!!! As I entered Aquatic Park,..folks were lined up on the sea wall roaring,..what a rush. If any of you want the thrill of a life time come to San Francisco and cast all of your fears into the Bay.
