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.

    well, its been a couple of weeks since Rich mentioned the Kaiman goggles from Aquasphere! (and thanx for giving us the website to tell us where they can be obtained). I was given the privelege last spring to try a pair at our YMCA which has resulted in my buying over a dozen pairs since then, most of which I have given as "thankyous" or resold to swimmer friends. I have raved about them with several dealers of swim stuff. At the moment I have three pairs of them, one for each of the two pools I frequent and one for my travelling swim bag. I'll probably get another coupla pairs in the next few days just to be sure I have enough for the season. How good are they? well, my workout is 2 to 2 1/2 hours most days. My first act after opening my locker is to put on my Kaiman goggles, then my swim cap, etc. When I get out of the pool I leave my goggles on until I get into the shower, where I rinse them and my suit. Unless I have occasion to dive they need not be very tight at the strap, the suction is that good. The tightness adjustment is very easy to make. Tighter usually without removal. They are especially good for backstrokers , who can swim with eyes looking straight up with 180 degree side vision, showing the lane lines at all times. If it should happen that your eyes bug-out to the extent that they touch the lenses, don't throw them away! The guy in the next lane will be glad to have them. They have kid sizes also.
