The curse of goggles and starts...

Every time I dive in for a race, my goggles fall off or leak. I have tried many different types of goggles. Any suggestions to alleviate this issue. I have a race in four weeks and don't want this to distract from my swim.:blah:

  • Keep your head down (eyes low) on the start. We used to draw little smiley faces on kids' feet and tell them to look at the smiley faces to keep them from lifting their heads and losing their goggles on the start. Also - make sure they are tight enough and that the straps are situated high enough on the back of your head (not low on your neck). Hope that helps!!! What gobears said works pretty well as long as you are not old school starting (belly flop style) . It's pretty hard to bellyflop with your head down. Try to keep your head below your arms and pin your ears together with your arms - this makes your head stay down below your arms.
