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.

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.
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.
Could definitely be a 'bridge' thing. It feels like that is where I get the separation.
And I don't do any diving. That would probably pull them off my face alone. At this point, just pushing off too forcefully can cause a leak.
