Q: Double Vision

I recently started an swimming program and have found that I get double vision until about five minutes being out of the pool. Is this a normal occurrence? Could it have something to do with swim goggles, as I have never had anything like this happen before.

The experience of double vision following the wear of swimming goggles can be due to not fitting well goggles, that press on surrounding eye muscles important for adequate eye ball movements resulting in misalignment of the two eyes.
Also, it can be due to a temporarily increased intraocular pressure due to wear of goggles.
