Even the best-kept pool will eventually develop algae. Algaecide is the name of the chemical that can efficiently kill algae and prevent it from growing in a pool, so pool owners use it regularly (weekly). It is possible to use the pool within 30 to 60 minutes after applying algaecide.
Generally triathletes with weak eyesight prefer the use of prescription goggles in the swim leg, and changing to prescription sports glasses in the transition. It is true that contact lenses eliminate the need to chanage eyewear during the transition, however, they are not designed to be used in water as they may cause irritation, discomfort, and may fall off.
