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

    The nose piece isn't adjustable; my goggles are "Lane 4" goggles which came with my SwiMp3 attached. The ear plugs - same story. In order to hear the music, I need to have in the ear plugs. Before I had the Mp3 Player, I had to wear an ear plug at least in my left ear, as when I do my flip turns, that ear is the ear that is up and would immediately fill up with water when I executed the turn. Oh well, me and my $#@!! gadgets! I've tried tightening, sliding the 'bone phones' around to prohibit the cups not suctioning to my face...it's just weird that some days things fit perfectly and other times, it's like my face changed. Thanks for listening and interjecting! Marian
