I'm with the group. I've used the original Swedes, and I've also used the TYR Socket Rockets. I like both. My trademark for my team, being one of a very small number of women on this small team, is for my goggles to be pink. It's a weird thing, I know, but I enjoy that little bit of girliness around all the testosterone. I've got absolutely nothing for you on why they leak, or how you get them to stop. Try tightening them. Or, in a more effective manner, you might try gluing them to your eyes (hey, it might work for some people).

I can't do the swedish googles. Us, bigged eyed people have to wear whatever googles that will cover our eyes. Usually, speedo have a good selection for the big eyed swimming community.

With the originals, you have to make sure that the strap over your nose is the proper length. Otherwise you will get leakage. Also, you may need to wear them a bit on the tight side. Swedes are all I've used since college, and I won't use anything else.

You got to go old school. The swedes that show up in a bag that you must assemble yourself (5$). never had a leakage problem with them.

Hi Bill, I have also tried the swedish goggles (original) and have not had good luck with the leaking thing either. I don't know if I'm missing anything or not, but perhaps I just have strangely shaped eye sockets! lol Good luck finding a good fitting goggle, I say just use whatever works best for you! cheers! J.
