Does anyone remember:
When were flip turns in free style invented/introduced in competitive swimming?
When did goggles become 'standard equipment' for swimmers?
Thanks!

In college, 1970-1974, no goggles. We were supposed to look where we were going so generally I kept my eyes open underwater but not when above (blurry). In graduate school I did not swim for a year or two and when I went back (1976) everyone had goggles. And that concurs with others on this transition!
