I have quite a few...bear with me, I'm new and oh so cute!
1. I have a major issue with my goggles. I'm on my 3rd pair this semester, and they fit the best of all I've tried, but I have a real issue getting proper suction over both eyes. Do I have an odd shaped face or something? What can I do to fix this?
2. I recently learned how to do a flip turn, and I do blow out my nose when I do this, but I still get water up there. Tips on fixing this?
3. Fins and hand paddles. What's the deal? When are they worth an investment?
4. Come on...tell me...does the Butterfly EVER get any easier? I got the kick down pat, I can do the stroke, but god help me should I put them together...

Oh yaeh....Fins and paddles....Yes, I use zoomers instead of fins....not as much propulsion as fins...but probably better for your overall kicking form and strengthening.....I love paddles (with pull buoy) ...You really get a feel for the water with paddles....major distance per stroke....but try not to over use them.....It's tempting though!

p.s. I like the large paddles that have the holes in them best (they are polygonally shaped)
