Sorry for clogging the message boards. I just had to see if I could come up with something as asinine as the helmet thread. Mods, please feel free to delete this

Iām sure your wiener and acorns would love getting caught up in the zipper.
Thatās okay. I was compelled to look at this post for the same reason I read the helmet post - I wondered what the idiotic reason might be.
Iām done wearing diapers. just a heads up to the guys at the pool.
I will continue wearing goggles regardless.
How else can I wear a mirror and control the lane?

You obviously have never experienced how it feels to be liberated. ā¦

Itās funny you say that, every time I put on bibs or cycling shorts my kids dance around me chanting āDaddy wears diapers, daddy wears diapersā

If you ride, errr zip, carefully you donāt need underwearā¦
Perhaps it belongs in the āStrange Denizenā thread but I have started noticing quite a number of people that come to to the pool to do a āswim workoutā (they are most obviously not āswimmersā) but donāt have goggles. Watching them attempt to traverse the pool is almost comical.
There are studies (although I wonāt bother to post the links) showing that itās no more likely that your eyes will sting after swimming in chlorinated water without goggles vs. when wearing goggles. (Of course weāll ignore the studies that come to the opposite conclusion.)
And then thereās the argument that you donāt wear goggles to bed at night, even though thereās a chance your significant other could poke you in the eye at some point. So why wear them while swimming?
I think youāre on to something.
If you donāt wear goggles in the pool, then you wonāt feel as bad when you take a sip of pool water because you wonāt be able to see all the crap floating around in the poolā¦
Goggles wonāt stop you getting killed or seriously injured by a speeding boat or large cruise ship, so why bother?
Iām also done wearing goggles, but thereās no way Iām going in the pool without my helmet on. That is just crazy talk.
If Johnny Weissmuller could swim a 5:04 400M without goggles (or flip turns or a cap) thatās good enough for me.
Who needs to see the end of the pool anyway, weāre open water swimmers dammit.
However I do wear a helmet for when I miss the occasional turn (and itās more aero).
Or Buoy
Goggles have NOT been proven to reduce injuries due to shark attacks! Also goggles may leak a bit anyway, so you are going to get a small amount of water in your eyes anyway. Not to mention that less people swim because they need to remember to bring their goggles to the pool.
People have been fooled by Big Goggle to believe they need goggles to swim.

I donāt think goggles became a thing until the mid 60ās and I think it was quite a bit later when a majority of people used them in meets. I swam with a fast guy who never wore them - according to him, he would just keep his eyes closed about half the time. He swam mostly fly where it is less important but he did a lot of OW races in his 40ās without them also.
I grew up swimming (and racing) without goggles, but had the devil of a time riding a bike home from practice, squinting like the old man I have since become.
