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...

2. My guess is you aren't tucking your head enough. Try putting your chin right against your chest.
I've been through two pairs of speedo goggles. Now I'm on a pair of Arenas, and I like them, only I have to be careful during a workout if I lift them onto my forehead, as one will not seal back properly. I tried them on the store and they fit perfectly. Would it be worth it, in the future, to try them on with the cap? (Of course this would look absolutely ridiculous, but then again, no matter when you wear a cap, you look absolutely ridiculous:D )
I appreciate the help on the flip turn. I will try tucking my chin in more.
