Anyone loves swimming?

Sign in to disble this ad
I Need to choose a Swim Goggle. I have trouble with most swim goggles, because they dig into the bridge of my nose.

JUST Find these two:
Speedo Vanquisher Swim Goggle

A Mirrored Swim Goggle

Do u use them?
Any suggestion will be great.

I used something like this back when I swam competitively: http://www.swimoutlet.com/product_p/1147.htm

Adjusted propely and not strapped on too tight, they are the most comfortable goggles I have ever used. You really don't need much pressure to keep the seal.

I love these goggles. http://www.metroswimshop.com/product.750462.htm

I used them for the years I swam competitively, and i'm using them again just for fitness training.

I love them!

Right . . .

You wouldn't lie to us now, would you, Mark?
I'm going to go ahead and leave this right here..

I'm going to suggest that if there is a store near you where you can fit them to your face, you'd be better off.

The two pair that I'm currently using are very similar to the Swedish goggles, but they have a fixed nose piece. I believe they are TYR. I can't tell you how many pairs of the Swedish google break because I didn't have the rope nose piece tied correctly when racing back in the day.

I try to stay away from activities where your main objective is to stay alive, and if you stop doing them you die.

Thanks though.
