I find the small, competition style goggles, such as the Swedes, very uncomfortable to wear. Granted, in a race, every small factor matters for that split second difference, still, I wonder how much difference does the goggle shape make? Has anyone actually experimented? Is the difference enough to be worth giving up the comfort one needs in long distance swimming? It seems to me the comfort level is in this order:
Swedes "hybrids" with silicone skirts
The low profile goggles are less likely to come off in a dive.Swedes aren't comfortable for me so I wear TYR Tracer TIs for meets.The difference in drag at swimming speeds between types is negligible I'm sure, so wear what's comfortable.
