The anti-fog coating of goggles seems to work only for a few weeks. Even if you are careful not to scratch it off, it seems to attract dirt and make the lens "foggy" anyway. So, soon you better end up scratch off all the coatings. I just wonder if it makes much sense to get anti-fog goggles unless it's just for a short period of time? I use soapy water to rinse goggles before putting on, and it has worked better without a single fail instance. I'm debating to myself whether to scratch off the coating of my new goggles which have already become "foggy" because I can't touch the lens to clean the dirt that's been attracted by the coating.

Must be nice to only swim in 100 or 200 yard intervals...
I swim 500's, 800, 1000's like this too on intervals, without ANY fog issues... ?
I'd say the only time fog has even come in play is on 75's or any other odd numbered swim to see the clock at the far end. A quick lick, and its just fine again. If it still doesn't work, leave a few drops of water in your goggles after you dunk them and shake your head whenever they fog.
