Here's a silly question-- what color are your goggles? I've had a blue tinted pair for a long time, this morning the strap broke and rather than take the time to fix it I grabbed my back up pair. Same brand and type only the tint is 'smoke'. It was weird but I found them totally disorienting for the first couple of hundred yards. They were fine after that but it made me wonder anyone else has a color preference or loyalty.

I find that wearing a dark goggle swimming in an indoor pool does not work well for me. I wear a clear lens indoors and a darker tint if swimming outdoors.
A very good swim coach once told me that if you wear a dark tinted google indoors, that it adversely affects your performance. It seems that your pupils dilate, to compensate for the low light level. This makes your body prepare for rest and sleep. So your energy levels drop. This would lead to a poorer workout.
Since i heard that i have kept to clearer goggles and it does seem to help.
