I’m talking about the kind of information that you don’t normally share with others. For example, I once went three weeks without washing my swim towel, but I find it disgusting when other people lick the inside of their goggles to keep them from fogging. I also pretend that I don’t care about racing anymore, but secretly I still look at everyone's times.
What are some of your swimming secrets?
I find it hard to believe that bacteria in your mouth can cause eye infections. Let me quickly google this...
Walter my understanding is that you won't get infections from your own spit.
Yeah, I would guess it would be a pretty remote chance of occurring but I suppose it could happen. Heck, I've actually put one of my contact lenses in my mouth to re-wet it once while out hiking when I got dirt in my eye. I then put it back in my eye and never got an infection. Maybe I had clean spit that day. LOL:out:

One of my coaches used to wet her contacts in her mouth sometimes. Don't know that she ever got any eye infections...
Can't imagine (unless you're hocking a loogy -sp?- in your goggles) that you could get an eye infection from licking them. However, I can see that it might be gross to lick your goggles. Have to say I've done it, though.
