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 1964 -68 I tried "large contact lenses" They were about the size if a nickel. I swam without goggles BUT after a while they held chlorine gas in and with the body heat made them unwearable!
