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 don't ever recall having a problem with goggles fogging while I'm wearing them. Maybe it's something you just get used to over time? If you put them up on your forehead, yes they will fog like a mother :)

NEVER, EVER leave them on the pool deck.
Does this include not ripping them off and throwing them against the wall after a most miserable swim that you were so confident going into!

I bought arena goggles and for once, went thru the little leaflet that come with..
To my surprise, the instructions was to keep the goggles completely dry and wear them. They said it's made out of some plastic polymer that would keep fog away if it stays dry and vice versa...
Well, it works!

I think that explains my problem. I've been making the mistake of wearing my goggles when I go in the water.

Thank you each v. much for your words of wisdom. As a newbie to this forum, I was hoping I wasn't going to get flamed for asking what some might consider such a novice question.
I will try everything mentioned above since there is no way I'm giving up swimming; I've become addicted!
Thanks again,
Steph :)

Just make sure you throw them with passion!!!!!
I use Water Gear's antifog which I think is a soap anyway. The baby shampoo works best as well as the Water Gear stuff if you put the dot on each lens while they are dry and smear if around. I rinse them in the water before putting on that seems to work for me.
