I usually wear sweeds and they are great becasue I go through goggles rather quickly and they are nice because they are inexpensive, but as my highschool swim season has just begun I find my goggles falling off my face as I dive. I have been swimming for aobut 6 years and am terrible at diving, but have usually managed to keep my goggles on while I swim. Any ideas for a good pair of goggles...or possibly improving the dive? I cant have them fall off or leak because I wear contacts and swim the 500 and am afraid I might lose a contact and I dont want to have to stop swimming in the middle (how embarassing).

I'm not ready to compete yet. I told my husband that as soon as I can fit into a racing swimsuit I will be racing (they currently don't make competive swimsuits in my size) :mad:
Anyway, when I swam competively in high school in the late 70s, no one wore goggles during swimmeets, so I'm really nervous about it.
I'm assuming just make sure you enter the water in a streamline sort of position?
In practice I seem to loose my Vanquishers during dive starts too often. To get them to stay on requires them to be tighter than I like. The Sengars stay on with half the strap tension.
