Tough time seeing the clock

I've been working out by myself and I have a hard time doing intervals because I can't see very well without my glasses. By the time I whip off my googles and squint at the clock my rest period is about over. Any suggestions?:rolleyes:

    you can buy goggles that have 'prescription' lenses. I see at 20 feet what normal people see at 2,100 feet. Pace clock? What pace clock? T on the bottom of the pool? What T? Crack! You can get your exact prescription which is pretty pricey, or get 'generic' lenses. Go to your eye doc and ask them to tell you what your diopters are. He will give you some number like -8 or -8.5. Each eye may be different. You then order your goggle frame and two lenses. They will arrive unassembled. All that you have to do is pop the lenses into the frame, adjust the strap and start swimming. I had never seen a sunbeam in the water, bubbles or the black tiles of the lane lines until I bought prescription goggles. They are definately worth the money.
