What is suggested for participants who experience glare from the water?

Wearing light-colored sunglasses is suggested for participants who experience glare from the water because these sunglasses can help to reduce the intensity of bright reflections from the surface. Light-colored lenses, particularly those with specialized coatings, can enhance visibility and increase comfort by filtering out excess light, thus alleviating glare while still providing enough illumination to see clearly underwater and in the environment.

Light-colored sunglasses can also offer a broader field of vision, which is important in an aquatic setting where awareness of surroundings and other participants is crucial for safety. By reducing glare without overly darkening the viewpoint, participants can maintain a good balance between comfort and visibility.

In contrast, dark sunglasses may reduce visibility too much and can limit a person's ability to see other swimmers or potential hazards. Covering the eyes completely is impractical and would obstruct vision, while avoiding eye contact with the water does not effectively address the problem of glare and may limit engagement in the aquatic environment.
