To prevent your goggles from fogging up do you....

spit/lick the insides of them? I've always wondered this amongst other swimmers. When I first started swimming one of my friends licked and/or spit (a little) in her goggles. I thought it was gross at first but I have long since adopted it since I came to found out it did work! If you don't do this, what are your methods for keeping your goggles clear?

    We wear goggles not to see better in the pool, but to keep our eyeballs from turning into catfish bait. I don't even keep my eyes open when I swim. Same here. I rarely open my eyes in freestyle. I swim better that way. Seeing the bottom of the pool somehow distracts me and makes me slow (though I admit with closed eyes I occasionally swim astray and bump into someone coming--fortunately no fatal accidents :D). Seeing is useful to me only when I'm looking forward once in a while.
