Equipment Malfunctions - my rant

What the heck is it about goggles - some days I'll get them on perfectly and I don't have any leaking at all. Other times, I'll put them on, and they start filling up like crazy on my first 5 yards out from the wall. Other times, I'll be in the middle of a swim, stop to rest for a few seconds, then get on it again and they have started leaking for no apparent reason... I am also a nose clip wearer...and I find that after about 500 yards, the nose clip is sliding off. Sooo frustrating.... anyone else???? Oh I forgot to mention the same thing with ear plugs that all of a sudden won't seal... But then there are those great days when everything is sealing, not leaking, not sliding and I'm a happy camper. Was going to put this on my personal website's rant section but figured my visitors wouldn't relate to it but visitors to this forum definitely will! Marian

    Why don't you try adjusting the nose piece, if you can? The speedo goggles I ordered came with several different plastic nose pieces...sometimes, the goggles are set too far apart on your face, that's why they leak sometimes. If you don't set them just right, there's a little break in the seal that forms....I dunno, but it's worth a shot! Steph
