Answer 1

ummmm duhh? you're not supposed to be able to swim with your eyes open. wear goggles.

Answer 2

Your body is actually just blocking out "foreign" things, like water. It's its job to do that to keep you healthy in general! Chlorine burns your eyes, so there's a good reason behind that reaction. I suggest you get a pair of goggles with suction cups in the eye pieces so they 'suction' to your eyes and keep water out. I use Speedo's Womens' Vanquisher, but I'm a swimmer and they're a bit pricey, so I'd just go to your local sporting goods store (d**k's Sporting Goods, Sports Authority, etc.) and get a cheaper pair (they all work). Just remember, suction cups, not the padded ones (I haven't used those in years, lol).  

Answer 3

your eyes r poabaly really sensitive. buy goggles.

Answer 4

Yep what they said: Get goggles you won't regret it

Answer 5

You're eyes must be really sensitive to chlorine. Try wearing goggles. If that doesn't work, try telling your parents and ask if this is a time to get a doctor's advice.

Answer 6

wear goggles.
