There was a thread on glasses and triathlons two years ago, but I thought I would ask here. I have a strong prescription and don't wear contacts. I use geeky clip on sunglasses for riding. For normal lake swimming, I just leave my glasses on the shore, but I'm not sure what to do in a triathlon. I could look into getting prescription goggles, and I guess I have a choice of custom ones (expensive, but that's ok) or hoping they make strong generic ones that are close enough. I'd have to put my glasses on the minute I got out of the water, in order to manage transition, and I wonder if anybody actually swims with them in a pouch or something? I'd hate to leave them by the bike, and somehow lose them, and in fact I'm not sure how I woudl even get from there to the swimming start point.

Anybody in this situation?
