Drag from goggles? Seriously....
Yeah, seriously. It's not really the speed reduction, but the increased propensity for them to come off on a hard pushoff or a dive. Plus it feels annoying.
Yeah I noticed the same thing wearing my first ''bigger'' goggles ever: Aquasphere Kayenne clear lenses (and no, I'm not secure and I consider myself THE most procrastinating person ever :-) ). Every hard push from the wall the goggles are letting water in.
Disclaimer: I am a beginner at distance swimming and in re-learning mode right now, I quit short distance in 1980', around grade 12th I think...
Before that, I have always used the basic Speedo ones, but they were far from fitting fine on my face, so I attached them extremely tight. Couldn't keep them for long. I also have intense myopia and astigmatism, so I can't not wear goggles. My vison, thus the goggles I use are very important to me. I wish to find a pair that never fogs, that is comfortable, inside who water never enters, and is also not too huge.
Never ever swam in open water yet, next summer....
