How long does it normally take to get used to the feel of Swedish-type goggles. I have decided to be done with new fancy goggles that seem to crack, leak or just break overnight in my gym bag.

The problem with swedish goggles is that they are too specific to the "right" face size and dimensions. If they don't fit by now and are comfortable, they will probably never fit. I can't were them as they dig into my sockets to hard.
On the other hand, there are those (such as the Evil Smith) that swear by them.
Give me a good pair of Compys from 1978 and I'm good to go.

I agree. Swedish goggles must fit to your eye sockets--if they do they will be painless and watertight. You will know immediately when you put them on. They are the only goggles I wear since I swim with contacts and don't want any leaks. Also I've had the same pair of goggles for ten years! However, I have MANY friends who have never been able to wear them due to face shape.
