I have read how several members on this board swear by the Barracuda goggles, and would like to know which model you use for which type of swimming. I want a pair that, ideally, I could use for both my hour and a half swim sessions, as well as for racing. However, if one style is better for the one activity over the other, please tell me which you use.
Thanks.

I found that putting the insert into the goggles was forcing them out of shape after each swim. It took me a few months to get my Barracudas adjusted properly and one of the big keys to that was realizing that the provided packaging was screwing them up. If your head is the same size as the packaging, lucky you; but my head is too big for that little insert.
Now I just carry them loose, out of my bag. I have to be careful not to toss anything on top of them or lay them down on the foam, but they keep their shape better now than they did when I tried to follow the instructions about keeping the insert in them.
