I've been working out by myself and I have a hard time doing intervals because I can't see very well without my glasses. By the time I whip off my googles and squint at the clock my rest period is about over. Any suggestions?:rolleyes:

I wear perscription googles, and have found both (I have two types) to work wonderfully. The Kiefer perscription googles come in .5 increments (-2.0, -2.5) etc... And the googles themselves are wonderful, but you definatly need to replace the strap that it comes with-with a bungee is fine...because its a weird strap system that it comes with and when you dive in, no matter what they will fall off.
--the only problem I have had with them, is the rubber gasket around the eye piece gets kinda moldy and such after a while...so I end up replacing them more often than I imagine I would need to for other googles...but then again I am in the water quite often (atleast 20hours a week during college).
But this year I also bought a pair made by speedo, they are identical to hmm I wish I wasn't blanking on the name of them...but those goggles that EVERYONE wears, that come in all sorts of colors like pink, purple, green, blue etc...and they have the kinda tubular strap? anyone know what I am talking about? they have soft/thin rubber eye gaskets and those too come in .5 increments. I like them as well...I use those for practice and the kiefer ones for meets--that way I save the googles I like better for meets and don't have to replace them as often...although I have had the speedo ones since september and used them those 20hours a week since then and have not had any signs of mold or falling apart.
Both pairs were only like $18...invesT!
