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:

  • Thanks so much. I will get some low profile goggles at the swim store. And then try the vaseline at practice this coming week and see how it goes. Do you ever have a problem of getting vaseline in your eyes? It's a good idea to try it out in training first. Look in a mirror with your goggles on, so you can see where they seal around your eyes. Take your goggles off and put a thin coat of Vaseline where the seal will go. Then, make sure to wipe off your fingers! I have never gotten Vaseline on a lens or in my eyes. And, after awhile, I got used to putting it on without a mirror.
