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.

My problem was fogging and a dark enough color to wear outdoors during the summer and for backstroke, but not too dark that I couldn't see. I found the best of both worlds and it also solved a long-standing problem of the nose piece digging into my nose (I have close set eyes)....The View goggles. The eye piece isn't soft and cuishy, but it fits my eyes very well. The orange or yellow color is quite soothing in an outside. I've even noticed a lot of teammates sporting these goggles.
P.S. I agree with the keeping the strap loose and adjusting the nose piece.
