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:

I have tried the Swedish goggles and I found them to be very painful. Maybe I should give them a try again, though. I just couldn't stand the way they felt and became preoccupied with it.
Depends what you found painful about them. If you took them out of the bag, tied them all together and put em on, I can see how that would be painful. A pair of sweeds is like a pair of shoes. You gotta work em in, get out a file and take off all the harsh edges and get them to fit your eye socket better. Also as was said the immovable string nosepiece isn't for everyone. Many people like a stretchable nosepiece. I could never get into that with a high bridge, so i stick with the string nosepiece. FTR I am talking about the monterbara ones, not the other brands.
