I purchased a plastic-handled rubber squeegee for washing windows, cut
off a small length of the squeegee that's just a bit shorter than the
glass lens cover of my old Nikon Action Touch (waterproof to 3m), drilled
a small hole in one end, and tied to the camera strap with a piece of
cord.  Just prior to taking a picture, two swipes with the squeegee
removes all the water droplets from the lens - no muss, no fuss with
keeping anything dry or fumbling with zip-loc bags.  Of course, the lens
coating has been abraded off the glass lens cover with almost 20 years of
squeegeeing, but the camera still takes great pictures!
