I am a Boston University student working on a design for a new pair of goggles for a school project. I would really appreciate it if you could take this quick survey (bumanagement.qualtrics.com/.../ and provide some input on this design. Your responses will be kept confidential.
Thanks!
Whoa! These goggles sound super cool. Would it possible to make them prescription? That wasn't mentioned on the survey, and I know that I personally have to have prescription goggles when I swim.
Got to love the way they lumped all people over 46 together. Because of course there's no difference at all between a 46 year old and a 76 year old whatsoever.
You really need to have more information about the proposed goggles. I have no idea of what the material is that is fitting directly on the skin around the eyes---some foams work for me--others don't. If they are designed like Swedish goggles and sit hard on the bone--I wouldn't be interested. Would they be available in a tint? What about adjustments across the nose? What material are the lens made of?

I was flummoxed by question #2 ... how can one possibly choose just one reason?
Why do you swim?
For fun As a workout To compete
But, on a serious note, with a gazillion different types of goggles out there, do we really need another design? Also, while the main issue that these appear to be 'solving' is water getting in the goggles, I just don't see that as an issue. Age group swimmers learn with all different types of goggles that the key to keeping water out is head position and a moderate amount of tension.
Good luck, but, for my two cents, making a tech suit that sell for $150 instead of $350 to $500 might offer you a better market and profit margins.
I second (or third) the optical option, and for the OW'ers, I would love transition goggles! You swim out along the shore, the sun on your back, clear goggles are a dream. On the way back, the sun is setting, it is in your eyes, you are all over the lake, really wishing for tinted lenses. Make me a pair like that, I kid you not, I'd pay a $100 plus for them!

+1 on everything you said! :applaud:

It's a school project, I wouldn't lose sleep over it ;)

I agree. Seems like a creative design project idea to me.
I agree with Allen's sentiment about feeling too tight. If you press your goggles too hard against your face it tends to make your eyes bug out. I don't think I'd use a product that did this intentionally.
