"leakproof" swim goggles
Quote | Reply
I've tried a couple different pairs of Aquasphere swim goggles and they all seem to leak no matter what I do. Any recommendations for any "leakproof" swim goggles?

Before you buy a new pair, push them onto your eye sockets and if they stay in place w/o the strap they should fit your face correctly (and not leak).

 Try "swedes" - takes some time to get used to but once you have you will never turn back!

TYR goggles work best for me. No leakage issues.

The only way. The goggles have to roughly fit your face or they will always separate sooner or later.

Yup, the only way. Then don't over- or under-tighten the strap as both will cause problems.

I just started wearing the sweedes. Liked them from the start.

The metalized ones are terrific. The clear ones keep fogging up on me :(

The TYR Rocket Sockets look identical with a nicer strap and anti-fog cups.

I learned a trick when I was an AG swimmer as a teenager that I still use today: splash some water on your face to wash off any oil around your eyes before you put on your goggles, that way you get a tighter seal.

I pretty much never get leaky goggles, and I've used all different brands/styles over the past 20+ years.

I also usually readjust my goggles between sets, but that's probably just a habit from when I was a fidgety kid.
