Hello All,
I'm new to this board. Actually, just new to posting. I've been entertained by your comments for quite a while now.
I've been swimming for a few years (I'm 29), and I absolutely love it. Unfortunately, I really struggle with speed. I really relate to all the posts regarding being 'slow'. But I keep trying the suggestions I get from you all. So thank you.
Anyhow, my question. I have such a hard time with goggles. Either they're too tight and give me a headache. Or they're too loose and water trickles in. Agghh!!! I've tried different brands, different styles.... I'm just wondering if there is some trick to getting the perfect seal.
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

I wonder what VO2Max shampoo would do to your goggles? I bet you'd have x-ray vision! (joke from other thread)
I used to wear compy's but those are now called something else. I prefer the swedish goggles although they took some getting used to (with no gasket)- actually they are just like compys without the gasket.
I have found that in determining which goggles work, it comes down to the bridge size of my nose. If the nose piece of the goggles is too wide they leak, too narrow they leak... swedish goggles are great because it's a string for the adjustment instead of a piece of plastic with only a couple of settings.
I agree with, I think it was, Mattson that when you try them on, try them without the strap, you should get suction, but not too much! Whenever I get new goggles and I'm adjusting the strap that's what I do.
Do you dive with goggles? Not that it matters, but some people think it's the goggles that come off, when it's actually the dive itself that causes them to come off.
