Any tips on how to keep goggles on when doing a start? I would like to be able to wear them when I race but can't seem to keep them on when diving in.

As to goggles irritating the nose's bridge, I've tried numerous brands because most rub my nose and i can't stand that. I have found two which have higher goggle bridges and don't rub my nose:
Kiefer Optical - Good for daily workout, last forever and good price.
Lane 4 one piece Optical - All rubber banding one piece and good for competition and daily swimming.
I know the two above come in non-optical as well.
I too have had the goggles slip on a start and know it was by not keeping my head down. I was told as a tip that if that does happen (as I'm sure it will again sometime), to pull the gogles down to your neck and continue swimming. When it happened to me, I was mostly blind during the 100 Meter swim (but finished the race).
Hope that helps.
