Swimming googles...recommendations?

[ahdguy]

Have my first proper swimming (tecnique) lesson (in a staionary pool) and pre-requsite is to bring own googles. So any recommendations? The last pair were off a beach somewhere. which leaked.

Ta in advance.

I assumed it was a funny typo but no you actually think they're called googles... :P

Don't use your lap top in a swimming pool.

Speedo (Futura Ice). I'm using a pair that I've had for about two years, they are in the water three miles per week doing tumble turns etc. and are still watertight.

Zoggs? Seem fine to me, they're goggles FFS.

+1 Speedo's are very cheap I think I paid about £5 for mine and they do around 2500m a week, all crawl.

Zoggs flash. I used to get the pick of whatever I picked up out the bottom of the rapids. Flash are the only ones that didnt leak. Either that or I have a funny shaped face?

Speedo speed-sockets are fantastic, I have been using them for around 7-8 years. Providing you rinse them off in non-chlorinated water after use they will last for ages. I am pretty certain they are around £10, but worth buying as the last thing you want when trying to improve your swimming is irritating goggles.

I hope the lessons go well.

Are you sure that didn't happen because of the swimming googles?

I had some speedo ones once and look what happened

I had a pair of speedo a few years ago.

Great goggles, never leaked at all, really comfy, and superb value for money.

My only problem was that the "S" rubbed off, there was nearly a riot at the pool, and i got barred (and lucky not to get lynched)
