There are a ton of different swimming goggles out there - all different shapes, sizes, and styles. Some of those may work for you, whilst others may not. That’s a simple fact. A little like a pair of running shoes that may work for one person, but not another.

    Awesome, recommendations on fit. I am doing a google review series and have noticed that goggles that fit the best can be worn pretty lose. The other thing I noticed is that the depth of the goggles can play an effect when you’re experiencing leaks when diving or pushing hard off the wall. Hope everyone is getting some solid swimming in this winter! 🏊‍♂️

    I hope you'll make a video about Swedish goggles cause they were the top choice of swimmers for racing before and some today (like Mellouli and etc.) because most new generation swimmers/triathletes haven't heard about this. also if you are running tight on budget, this is a strong pic for me. (I'm a big fan of this goggles) good thing an elder swimmer suggested me to try a pair.

  • @Jofirstson22

    Do goggles typical increase in pressure against your eye socket when you swim over a long duration? I generally to a long distance swim (1hour). They feel fine for the first 30 minutes or so, but my goggles start to feel uncomfortable in the eye socket area at the 35-40 minute mark. It’s almost as if the suction increases. Any suggestions?

    Last time I swam 2hs and a vein in my eye was torn, half of the eye white went red, the eye ached. I had a feeling that the gogles were glued to my eyes. Maybe the solution will be the big gogles covering half of your face, not putting so much pressure immediately around your eyes. Edit: Inspired by your observation, I made an experiment . I fastened my gogles really lose, so I felt comfortable and started swimming on my backs first and didn't immerse my face for the first 45 minutes. Then I immersed fully and my gogles weren't leaking. When I pulled them off after 2h30m swim I felt as If I didn't wear them at all. It was really amasing.

    How do you prevent goggle from fogging up? No one sells GLASS goggles with double layer glass. Just polycarbonate single layers. The factory anti-fog treatment wear off in a few months, and then that is it.. it fogs.

    I use to swim back in the 80’s and back then I remember I could never find a pair of goggles that fit right, comfortable without letting water in. I’ve just returned to swimming and I’m back to square one... I still can’t find googles that fit, I’ve tried so many different ones but they all hurt, and no matter what I do they all LEAK! I don’t know what to do.

    The shape of the goggle is the most important. A good fitting goggle does not leak at all, no matter how loose you set the strap. A simple strap what is split only at the backside is just a marketing bullshit, does not have any noticeable effect. Either a completely split strap (better and easier fit), or a simple strap does the work. I personally prefer small racing style goggles. The big, overinflated "triathlon" or "recreational" models all leak.

    Arena Air Speed for me. Really light and you can swap the nose piece to suit. I wear them fairly loose and now just place them over my eyes after putting strap in right place on back of head. I’d previously - wrongly - been pushing the goggles at the front to create suction as I thought I needed to do this to avoid leaking. Wrong! This just left me with marks and leaking. Now looser and just placing them leaves hardly any marks and they don’t leak. Hurrah!

    I've recently got the Magic 5 - and been experiencing this same thing with all goggles. Am I doing something wrong, or its just the way it is? When pushing off the wall and if my head is facing down I ALWAYS get water in the goggles, where if my head is facing straight (which I believe slows me down) is all good.

    I never wore goggles when I learned to swim as a kid, and I wish I had. I love being in the water, but I have poor eyesight and am extremely clumsy with glasses. So I wear contact lenses pretty much everywhere. Not having perfect fitting goggles really takes away from the swimming experience because I had a choice of either: A: Barely being able to see and then having to put contacts back in whilst in a public changing room. B: Risk getting pool water in my eyes - thus screwing the lenses up and risking an eye infection. A good pair of goggles is the difference between me being able to enjoy all the strokes, or being stuck doing backstroke for the whole session and conscious of not being able to see.
