In the cold depressing winter months I train with orange/yellowish goggles because it's like swimming with a nice sunny instagram filter and that makes me happy :D
I would caution anyone to avoid the cheap goggles with foam padding for the watertight seal. They are uncomfortable, the watertight seal is unreliable, and they don't last very long before the foam becomes unglued from the lenses. My current goggles are Speedo Vanquishers with Blue lenses. They are several years old. The clip that holds the straps behind my head is partly broken but still works. I've been debating taking the clip out and just tying the straps together so that I can get a few more years out of them. Actually, my previous pair of Vanquishers with clear lenses is still at the bottom of my swim bag. I don't even know how many years old they are. I wish my swimsuits would last that long. After a couple of months of daily use, the fabric fades from black to gray, and the crotch becomes completely sagged, which leaves little to the imagination regarding certain parts of the anatomy. My daily swims are in a highly chlorinated indoor pool.
Besides color some goggles are open water specific which enhances your all around view unlike pool goggles which try to focus your view directly in front of you. To each their own but I like having the wider field of vision when I swim in open water.
finally, a reason to justify the bucket-o-goggles i have laying around over the years. Now to convince the family on the multiple helmets.... and jerseys..... and shoes.... and bikes...
I recently was given some prescription goggles but the lenses are clear which I don’t like the look of and when I come up to breath my right eye goes from the dim water to the bright light outside and it messes with my vision (those spots you get when your eyes are trying to adjust to different lightings) any way I could put a tint on them? I don’t want to be rude and not use them since they were a gift and could potentially be very helpful for me but as of right now I’m hesitant to use them.
Your eye dr will tell you NO! Contacts and pool water don’t mix. You’ll be at high risk for eye infection. That said, I wore my contacts as a recreational swimmer (2-3x a week for 20 yr.). I had to give up contacts when I needed bifocals - I didn’t like the fit and/vision of any of the contacts I tried. Make sure goggles fit well. You’ll want to remove contacts (to at least rinse in solution) as soon as possible after swimming.
I’m a professional swim teacher and all my student MUST have ear plugs, swim hat, 3 different goggles, upper body swim suit, flippers, nose clip, anti fog spray, special pre swim shower gel, special chlorine remover shower gel pool side safety sandals, under water watch, under water camera, quick dry towels, high buoyancy noodle and float and arm bands & snorkel. All this must be bought from me other wise students will be thrown off my course and and fined. I tell all the parents they must only use my approved equipment to learn fast. I currently charge £1499.00. Full Kit and induction and £25 per lesson, Sorry all classes are fully booked at the moment.

However, you dint talk about size ans shape

SO what's the best goggles to use for training? I just want to know one pair. this is for indoor swimming. budget is 20 - 30 and 40 at a push pounds?
Buy a 10 pound pair of goggles and 20 pounds worth of beer.
I spent the money to have my prescription in my goggles , worth it , plus tint
Hello, what is the best prescription goggles??
520 is what I was interested in
How are Prescription Goggles? Do they actually work? How do people know which to order?
Yes, they do work. You need a prescription from an eye doctor, and then you can customize the lenses.
I train and race in my mirrored or my amber swedes.
finally, a reason to justify the bucket-o-goggles i have laying around over the years. Now to convince the family on the multiple helmets.... and jerseys..... and shoes.... and bikes...
I mean, the visor color can be changed on helmet without buying the whole helmet
Unlike swimming goggles
With purple googles on indoor pools, does the blue changes?

*When you have the googles with the nose cover and some earplugs:*
I like using the blue lenses
Thanks bro
Y
Thanks
I love orange for open water (you see a lot more in the water!)
Stevie Debaets true 👍
Which polarized goggles do you recommend?
Can u wear contact lenses under goggles while competing?
Your eye dr will tell you NO! Contacts and pool water don’t mix. You’ll be at high risk for eye infection.
That said, I wore my contacts as a recreational swimmer (2-3x a week for 20 yr.). I had to give up contacts when I needed bifocals - I didn’t like the fit and/vision of any of the contacts I tried.

I have the same question.
Who the heck is the new presenter? I like the accent, but how about an intro video. Maybe I missed something?
Carl Taylor we introduced him in the show - Fraser Cartmell. More of an intro to come
British accent

Why is this comment here
We don't care if your classes are full
Yeah, who gives a shit lol.
😂😂😂😀 funny marketing
Rip of 😂
I just want casual wear that is good for my money. *Sigh
Why not to talk about types of goggles?
Because you use 1 type when in a triathlon, you don’t want dive goggles lol
