Hello:
I'm a newbie swimmer and just found this forum. Please forgive my ignorance by asking this question, but I am stumped:
I'm swimming laps indoors for exercise and I cannot, for the life of me, find anything to reduce the fog on my goggles. I wear Rocket Sockets by TYR and I've tried using Goggle Bright which was purchased at a local dive shop and it doesn't work for me at all. :(
I'm so frustrated b/c I'm quickly falling in love w/swimming but this one problem is driving my crazy; any suggestions for this girl?
Thanks so much,
Steph

I use Aquaspere Goggles because of their excellent visual range and sometimes suffer from fogging as well. Usually I just remove them and dunk them in the water to clear them out. I've never tried the remedies posted here, but I might give them a try.
Steph,
I suggest you put a drop of baby shampoo into the inside of each lens and rub it around with a finger to coat the lens, leaving the shampoo on while you swim.
There have been many posts in the past on this topic. You can search the archives for more remedies.
as mentioned there have been an abundance of threads on this subject and i think you'd enjoy some of the older ones...do a search on goggles...personally i put spit on my finger then rub it around the inner lenses!!!!i've found that the hotter you get..the more fog is produced..so hot pools don't help...
OK, so it's not just me. My Socket Rockets fog terribly. Any other goggles and good ole spit just works fine. I gave up and switched goggles for workouts.
You may lick your goggles; I spit on mine...
Baby shampoo is probably the least 'unattractive' way to do it ... anti fog stuff you buy in stores is just soap anyway, or so I understand.
After exiting the pool, 1 pump of Speedo anti-fog after rinsing with sink water (or shower water, whatever) does the trick.
DO NOT TOUCH the lenses at anytime with fingers (with or without spit!) or paper, inside or outside, as that will lead to scratching the lens.
You should get about 6 months of clear viewing (up to 10 lanes away) from TYR, Speedo or View goggles.
Seriously, this has been working for me for 5 years now.
