goggles
« on: August 01, 2009, 09:15:33 AM »
I am very intolerant of chlorine and have had to give up swimming in pools in the UK because they won't allow me to wear a facemask which is the only way I can keep the stuff far away from my eyes.  They will allow Aquasphere goggles but, although these glue to my face when I fit them, when I turn sideways to breathe, they leak as badly as all the other many goggles I've tried. 
Does anyone know if Zoggs Predator Mask is any different/better than the Aquaspere, or does anyone have any other suggestions?
 
Thanks for any information

Hi, I've not used the goggles our talking about, but they are very popular.
Howcome the pools wont let you wear a facemask if the chlorine irritates you? not very nice of them! :knuppel2:

Why won't they let you use face mask? I don't understand.

That unheard of. Usually, if the swimmer has an allergic or other reasons to keep away the water from entering the eye, face mask or goggles are definitely allowed. I am sure you will find plenty of them in the market that are completely water proof, although you'd need to do a bit of research out on the availability of brands in your local area.

Quality goggles are best to use and you can find that from a good place.

I don't think one is better than the other, just that one will fit the shape of your particular face more that the other.

Have a look at our tips on choosing swimming goggles and masks.

hi.
As a swim coach, I recommend that all swimmers should use goggles. It makes it easisr to see the walls for fast & efficient turns & finishes.

If you are not swimming competitively, then it is up to you to decide if you will use goggles or not.
I prefer to use goggles because the chlorine irritates my eyes.

I hate finding good goggles. When I was swimming in high school on the swim team, we'd always go for the smallest and most aerodynamic. Of course, I usually sacrifice comfort and many times water would get in usually on the turns.  I like some of those larger masks and they look like they'd fit better and be more comfortable. As someone who is just swimming to get back in shape, I don't mind that they aren't aerodynamic. I'll have to try one of them out.
