Today the coach had us doing starts. This was my first time doing this in many years, and an old Bugaboo resurfaced: No matter what I try or do, my goggles will not stay sealed!
Has anyone had troubles with goggles on starts? What are some things to try? I've already been through the obvious things like strap tension and different head positions on entry. I sure would like to get this figured out, it's going to limit me otherwise.
goggles should fit snug around the head. if your strap circumference is within 1 to 2 inches of your actual head circumference, then your strap is way too loose. tighten it a bit
I agree. I would have a splitting headache if I wore my goggles in practice or in OW races as tight as I wear them for pool races. For pool races, I probably take at least an inch and maybe two out of the total circumference. Judging from the pink rings on some Olympians' foreheads, I think they do too.
