After trimming off some excess plastic, I drilled a small hole in one end and used a cord to tie it to the strap of my waterproof camera (a Nikon Action Touch, which is highly recommended if one can be found used). The squeegee is thus instantly accessible, and with one or two swipes does a good job of removing water droplets. The downside is that the squeegee has worn off some of the lens coating, but that doesn't appear to affect the quality of the photos at all - and I've been using this system for more than 10 years.
