https://community.usms.org/swimming/f/general/5307/goggles-kickboard---need-help-pleaseI&#39;ve been an avid fan of Speedo&#39;s one-piece goggle, &quot;Ultravision&quot; and found out when my faves broke that they discontinued them... :-( Anyone have a brand &amp; style that they like and would recommend? I&#39;m hoping to find ones that are good for swimmingen-USTelligent Community 12https://community.usms.org/thread/68954?ContentTypeID=1Tue, 29 May 2007 09:27:31 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:f9ea7164-af20-44ba-974a-90d8068f4a2dsmontanaroKicking WITHOUT kickboards ? Heresy ... how else could you visit with your teammates while doing a &quot;social kick&quot; ? For me there&#39;s no such thing as a &quot;social kick&quot;. Even if I was inclined to chat while I kicked, I&#39;m generally so much slower than everyone else that I either couldn&#39;t keep up or would be so out of breath I could at best listen, not talk.

Right now I&#39;m using a Speedo Jr Hydrospex with a silicone gasket. They last longer and don&#39;t give rashes due to &quot;alligatored&quot; neoprene after a while. The anti-fog also seems better and there is less leakage. Kicking WITHOUT kickboards ? Heresy ... how else could you visit with your teammates while doing a &quot;social kick&quot; ? The Ocean Pool &quot;KickA Board&quot; foam kickboard I bought about 30 years ago (!!) is still doing great; and nobody would steal it with a name like that. I think they went out of business years ago. Other kickboards I&#39;ve bought lasted less than a year.<div style="clear:both;"></div>https://community.usms.org/thread/68803?ContentTypeID=1Tue, 29 May 2007 07:21:47 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:baa82ccb-568c-4aad-babe-dfed08d4b9c5Former MemberGo to Swimoutlet.com........Looks like they might have some still in stock.<div style="clear:both;"></div>https://community.usms.org/thread/68710?ContentTypeID=1Tue, 29 May 2007 07:20:58 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:6475c8d6-1910-4e24-adad-4ab3debd575fFormer MemberHi- Speedo Hydrospex or TYR X-Flex... they both are one piece goggles and have the mirrored lenses available. I agree with the above post... lose the kickboard. I&#39;ve grown to love kicking on my back... and I haven&#39;t looked back since!<div style="clear:both;"></div>https://community.usms.org/thread/68852?ContentTypeID=1Tue, 29 May 2007 03:33:20 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:c17541da-c881-4a94-8d6e-b8e7d1948b0aaztimmI&#39;ve never been able to wear those 1-piece goggles and have them work correctly. It seems one goggle would be ok, the other leaked, etc. Anyway, I&#39;ve worn the TYR Racetech for about 10 years now, and won&#39;t wear anything else. I wear regular smoke for winter, and the metallized for summer. Yes, even at 6am there&#39;s enough sun that you need tinted goggles here in AZ in the summer. The metallized version isn&#39;t cheap, about $16, but worth every penny. I&#39;m pretty flexible on kickboards. I lug a gear bag with paddles, a pull bouy, and zoomers (I don&#39;t use them that often), but I can take or leave the kickboard. Many times I&#39;ll just skull with my hands and kick. If we have kickboards in the team basket and we&#39;re doing a longer kick set, I&#39;ll use one.<div style="clear:both;"></div>https://community.usms.org/thread/68678?ContentTypeID=1Tue, 29 May 2007 03:08:29 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:ea55c03c-56f2-414b-8a4e-54e1a8b0f580smontanaroAlso, I recently purchased a kickboard from Speedo and found it to be too flimsy in the water. Suggestions? Lose the board? After a slight adjustment period I find I like kicking without a board most of the time. Skip Montanaro<div style="clear:both;"></div>
