Goggles!

[Syndirelah]

I finally found goggles that WORK!!!!

I know they are a very personal thing, but I highly suggest trying Barracuda goggles if you're having trouble finding a decent pair. I tried a few goggles at the start of swim training, and finally decided to tolerate Speedo vanquishers... even though they still gave me horrible headaches and minor leaks. After about six months, I took on the challenge to find a better pair, and tried Kaimen Aquaspheres (leaked... anyone want them?), Aquamask, TYR, few other speedos... I forget the rest.

But these did not leak a DROP in the last Tri (during a verrry physical open water swim leg!!), and were totally comfortable. Here is a link if anyone is interested:

I saw the Barracudas recommended somewhere else. I bought a pair of Kaimans to try in the pool (then in open water, or I'll do open water and bring along my Seal mask as backup). After that... I'll probably try these.

Speedo Jr. Hydrospex are also good, for those with smaller heads. I would assume the regular Hydrospex are good as well.
