How many goggles in a single workout?

I use 2 goggles in my workouts. One for sprint sets (tight and uncomfortable), one for relaxed sets. Till now, I did nor see anybody doing the same. Am I the only one?

    imspoiled;82821 I also use one for practice, but I have many, many pair and use them, to quote Muppet, "depending on which pair isn't sucking that day." Slightly same (depending) but different response: For me it's the pair that IS sucking that day (and will not leak). Strange, isn't it, how it seems that some days the shape of our face (or eye sockets) change so that yesterday's perfect fit will not work today? I tried many brands until I found Nike Uptakes. Then they stopped making them. I managed to find four or five pairs on the Internet. When I contacted Nike to ask them which of their models most closely resembled the Uptakes, they sent me a "Natator" which I loved. (It was made in Thailand). So I went and bought another Nike Natator. This one, I'm ashamed to say was "Made in Canada" and leaks like a sieve (except very rarely). Racing goggles are totally different though. Aren't race supersitions great (probably should be its own thread)! I treat my race goggles like they're gold plated. People think I'm nuts, but it works for me. I kept trying other brands and models until I found TYR's Technoflex 2 that worked for me, except for racing where I found that TYR's Raceflex's smaller size was a perfect leak-stopper. However I can't use them for anything over a 100m because they press on a scleral buckle I have in my eye (retinal detachment surgery). About three weeks ago (before the Ottawa Winterlude meet) I decided to buy me another pair or two of Raceflexes. Guess what? TYR stopped making Raceflexes!!! However I found that they have a new model "Flash" that's a good fit (for me). It stays on during starts from the edge of the pool. (City pools, public swims, no starting blocks). All those goggles, that didn't work for me, make great Christmas and Birthday presents for my girlfriend's grandchildren. Cheers
