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:

  • I'm considering just soldering mine into my eye sockets cyborg-style (assimilation is inevitable). I had problems in my freestyle events at the last meet whereas I didn't with IM or ***... I just started doing starts from the blocks, so I'm no expert, but I think the only difference was that I might have been trying to get my head up a little earlier for freestyle to go shallow and get into my stroke faster... in the other two events I was trying to maximize my glide underwater, so I'm pretty sure I kept my head tucked and that's what made the difference. I didn't do anything else differently for the four forward starts (no extra tightening, goggles always under cap, etc.)... I'm going to focus on tucking that chin for all my starts from now on.
